Marvelous Mondays

I saw something in the grocery store and I decided that, if I had Fantastic Friday blogs, I would post it.

Hillside Self-Heating Hot Cocoa. I didn't buy the product, but it seems worthy of maybe an Amanda Marvelous Monday blog.

For the mentioned Fantastic Fridays, you'll have to see for yourself.

Holidays

I'm excited to be going home to Texas for the holidays tomorrow. But, for today:

Nollaig shona duit and bliain úr faoi shéan is faoi mhaise duit!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Few and Far Between

(Things my eyes have been experiencing lately.)

Dublin vs. Texas

Dublin is, no doubt, changing my perspectives of things. I'm working on a smaller scale, for one, and, for two, it will be interesting to see how my change in city effects what I create.

But... my art is still living in Texas! The Amarillo Museum of Art is having a 12x12 fundraiser coming up soon which I will be participating in. Check it out, if you can.

Change

I'm finally here! I'm in Dublin (ready to get started with school) and today I discovered yogurt covered banana chips. I found an apartment today, so now my spare time may be used to explore. Hello museums and galleries!

Updated

I've added new drawings, mixed media, and paintings!

Museums

Today I visited the Nasher Sculpture Center and the Dallas Museum of Art. The DMA has a temporary exhibition that I absolutely loved:

	A Painting in the Palm of Your Hand: 18th-Century Painted Fans from the Wendy and Emery Reves Collection

Fans are more than practical; they are a communication tool. From Grand Tour souvenirs to statements about women in society, the variations that a paper fan can undertake have certainly caught my fascination.
