DMA Day

Today my writing class went to the Dallas Museum of Art. The DMA let us in an hour before opening for our tour, which is a good thing because at ten AM, massive numbers of grade-school students marched like ants out of yellow buses.

I think the museum favorite for most of my students is The Iceberg. Truly magnificent. I love that the Museum peeps stuck a bench in front of it (it takes up a whole wall).

Still, my favorite is Mountain Landscape with Approaching Storm. I have a copy of it hanging in my office, in fact. I had never noticed until I peered at it up-close today that the artist painted a road going off the left up into the light. Don't you love it when you discover something new about something familiar and beloved?
