The Stars at Night Are Big and Bright...

Well, we're back from a short trip to San Antonio, Texas. And it was a fun trip! John did a great job with his presentation at the AMA conference...and me?  I fit in several ARTastic adventures...per usual.

I created a fairly short slide show with some fun TEXAS music...check it out if you have a minute...or just under three and a half minutes...

I gotta say, first and foremost...the San Antonio River really made an impression on me.  She is the heartbeat of the city, and if you follow her you can get just about anywhere you want to be.  So I made a little sketch of her...totally going out of sequence here 'cause I started the drawing AFTER the art museum...but...just wanted to say it.

I enjoyed riding the river taxi back to lunch after my outing to the San Antonio Museum of Art...which, while we're at it was a GREAT museum.  Housed in the old Lone Star Brewery it, like so much of the city, was a bit of a maze with new discoveries at every turn.  Just when I thought, 'that's it'...I rounded the corner to see yet another room full of art. Extensive collection of Egyptian and Greek art...some glass pieces I like I had never seen before...really makes you marvel at how they were able to create such works of art, the sheer trial and error that went into each piece...and the Contemporary collection was also an eclectic mix that included Faith Riggold, one of my favs...and Kehinde Wiley...ever since I saw his work in an art magazine last year I have been a bit obessed with is images...especially combined with the textile print motif.



...and what would any trip be without leaving some angels...some inspiration to a place that inspired me?  Yep, I am talking about an #AngelDrop, folks!  I made my angels Friday night after dinner and ventured out around 7:30am on Saturday morning- Valentine's Day. There was no one at the Alamo, it was nice and quiet and peaceful.  (if you go there, get up and go there around this time to get a good picture without tons of folks in it...and the light is nice and golden, too!)

Remember...angels at the Alamo...
Then I headed on down to the River Walk...made a pit stop at the convention center...they were having the state music convention and it looked like All-State auditions, too...so I left some angels there for folks to find.

...the last Angel was left up on the 38th floor of our hotel, the Marriot Rivercenter, where I had started that morning...overlooking the city of San Antonio, Texas.
