Catch up....Crystal Bridges 9.18.11

The new Crystal Bridges museum opened on 11.11.11 in Bentonville.  We have been so excited for this world class art museum to open up in our quaint town.....thank you Alice Walton!  So excited that our boys will have the opportunity to grow up around all this great culture.  Josh and I were able to go tour the museum the week after it opened.  It was a fun night and we look forward to going back!  Here are a few pics of some of my favorites pieces of art and some of the museum.  Sorry for the poor quality.....these were taken with my phone. :-)

We ran into my photographer friend, Katie and her husband Dan, who graciously took a picture of us. :-)

These little bird paintings were one of my favorites.  Such nice, bold colors.
