Happy New Year

I recently visited the Phillips Collection art museum in Washington DC. This painting by Joseph Marioni at first glance seems pretty nondescript other than the bold color. On close inspection there is subtle variations of tone which adds interest, but I found it more interesting to view it through the archway that frames the canvas.

Some would say this is just a blank color painted on a surface. And some might think the start of a new year is similar, details to be revealed as the days of the year unfold... at least that is the thought I have.

Golden House

Crazy corner with lots going on.

Merry Christmas

Hope all have a great holiday season and a rewarding new year!

PS: This is my annual christmas photo featuring  one of my wifes multitude of decorations. Try entering "Merry Christmas" in the search box and you will see over a dozen of shots that I have been posted over the last 14 years.

Men's room

Apparently artwork on the walls and floors is fairly common at the Hirshhorn. I did not capture the name of this artist. It is curious that in the corner is (as far as I know) the only men's restroom in the museum. And it is not exactly easy to find. I guess just look below the smiley face?
