Art fair

last week was Ann Arbor's art fair, which takes over most of downtown and campus area. I took a couple of lunch breaks to look at stuff. I really wish it was a smaller fair, after touring the first few streets everything started looking the same and quite repetitive... but i did note some of the things that i found impressive during the first day.

  • this work by Stephen Kinnard was my favorite.
  • Brian Jensen's art reminded me a lot of Rinat Hoffer. Even ben said he kept expecting to see a picture of Hatzav Bitzbuts hanging there.
  • the next artist uses a very interesting technique of "reverse painting on acrylic glass with enamel pigments. " (see his website). the picture truly can't express the vibrancy of these pictures, which are priced way out of my comfort zone.
  • and last, the textures and colors here reminded me a lot of my mom's, and i thought the intrusions and sculptures were a very interesting concept. it's a wooden construction, not canvas. website

    Playing

    Daniel playing with the ball ramp toy! he wasn't really into it until now (you shouldn't compare your kids, but Ella mastered it when she was 8 months old). this video shows the first time he's using this toy for something other than putting it in his mouth or using it as a crutch to stand himself up. Yayy Daniel! Daniel puts ball on the ramp, 9 months and a week old.


    Puzzle

    and of course, you can't work on a puzzle without Scrooge's help. Daniel experimenting with the shape sorter puzzle. 9 months 1 week old.

    Corn and tooth

    i think Daniel's first tooth is in, but he won't let me see it! either way, he's trying really hard to eat this corn on the cob :)
