Solo Artist Date at MIA

I loved the way that the curved ceiling behind the statue created depth and atmosphere

I’ve been meaning to visit the Minneapolis Art Institute for some time. This week I finally made time to go there.

Solo Artist Date at MIA

As always I took my camera with me. Here are photos of what caught my eye on this visit.

Here are some of my photos from my visit along with quotes about art.
