Open House and Family Day at Danforth Art

 Many people strolled through the museum. There was a scavenger hunt for the kids. In my room, the Swartz Gallery, they had to name all the everyday objects in the paintings ... twigs, oil cans, shoes,  rulers, knobs and handles.

 Stephanie spots something ...

and a little girl takes this task very seriously.

and a quote from Elizabeth Michelman:

"Ellen Wineberg is a very imaginative colorist and works with rich imagery and  significant content in a contemporary mode; she doesn't just follow a rote tradition of realism, surrealism, or abstraction but draws on a combination of each in a subtle , ironic manner of her own."  ---Elizabeth Michelman, Artscope

A blooming Festivus tree

I found a forsythia branch on the ground last week. Brought it in and stuck it in water. I added some fallen pine boughs from the Belmont Public Library and balsam from the forest floor of the Robert Treat Paine Estate. I decorated it with Maggie Stern's wooly and woody owls and Ellen Weiske's tin coffee spoons and Sarah Doremus' Fred Head pin and a crank toy demo, and bead flowers by Meredith Levine (wife of Ken) and a wood rabbit ornament by Lisa Dudley (sister of Rick Berlin). I never did this before, it's not a Chanukah tradition.

Today the forsythia is starting to bloom. 

Is this the true meaning of Festivus?

Happy 2013!
