We woke up to the sweet sound of rain this morning, clearing the air, tamping down the fires, and lifting everyone's spirits. As my neighbor reminded me, "it's amazing what we take for granted." Clean air tops the list.

We gathered around our table, talking, laughing, and reminiscing. They brought a Princess Cake, my favorite, not that I did anything to deserve it.

With the world in turmoil, California engulfed in smoke, and news from Washington more bizarre every day, thank goodness for friends and family.

Moments like these are the highlight of any museum visit. These boots were made for Mondrian. Not to mention the purse.

Joan Brown's "Green Bowl" welcomes you to "Wayne Thiebaud's Artist's Choice" show at SF MOMA.  "Thiebaud’s own work is featured alongside paintings by others that he personally selected from SFMOMA’s collection." (Read about it HERE.) And the best part is Thiebaud's unpretentious words explaining his reason for choosing each of the paintings. He is the master of demystifying art. No mumbo jumbo. Just heartfelt admiration and sheer delight in it all.  And for me, moments like these where green meets green lift me right out of the doldrums. Art inspires art.

I returned to SF MOMA for more Magritte this week, this time the guest of a friend who had arranged a tour with a gifted guide. Usually I just want to look and see and absorb, but it was illuminating to hear about his response to those times of terrible turmoil.  Here we are again in a troubled world all trying to make sense of it, and trying to find ways to make our voices heard. Art imitates life imitates art. And art inspires art.
