A Year of Making Art, Day 264: Miro at San Jose Museum of Art

January 8, 2008

It is raining again in Palo Alto, California, and I heard it was 65 degrees and sunny in Ithaca, New York.  Bad timing.

We went to the San Jose Museum of Art this morning and saw a Miro exhibit of 60 prints, mostly lithographs.  His work is so inspiring--light, energetic, playful, and simple, but very strong.  We also viewed three rooms of the museum's permanent collection, finding a number of interesting pieces.

In my drawing this morning I used mostly the small-tips of the calligraphy pens in order to make a more detailed piece:

Tomorrow we are heading home.
