A brief note regarding the lack of activity around here. I am certainly not going to make my one post per week goal for February, but I am not going to fret because 1) a whole new month is right around the corner and 2) most of my time and energy the past few weeks has been spent on Keizo!
As has become somewhat of a ritual, he joins me stateside every spring during the rugby off-season. This was his third trip to Charlottesville, and for better or worse, I didn't feel much pressure to create an itinerary for his stay. We stayed quite local; eating at home quite a bit, going on my favorite easy hike, and even spending an afternoon in the library at school (me catching up on some reading, Keizo doing some reading but also fidgeting and eating clandestine snacks).
Our biggest adventure was a trip to Richmond this past weekend, where we spent the afternoon at the
Virginia Museum of Fine Arts and then wandered Cary Street in search of some dinner afterwards. The art museum's permanent collection is free, and was more than enough to give us slight museum fatigue.
Scenes from our visit:
 |
| Lunch on the patio; come back sunshine! |
 |
| Don't you want to touch this canvas? |
 |
| Chihuly continues to intrigue me. |
 |
| Keizo and I both liked this Roy Lichtenstein |
 |
| Fantastic rotund farm animal statues. |
 |
| Precise cubes and drape-y industrial felt. |
 |
| The Art Deco/Art Nouveau Collection was my favorite overall... |
 |
| ..and included a whole room of Tiffany glass. |
 |
| Keizo liked this Chuck Close portrait. |
 |
| "[Men] with Vegetation" |
 |
| Chihuly, indoors and out! |
