I'm a Fan!

So my new quote for the month of May is from Picasso. For those of you who don't know, I studied Art History in college. Now what can you do with a degree in Humanities (emphasis in Art History) and a minor in Music??? Not much!



People find it puzzling that I would end up in Human Resources/Accounting after studying art for four years. I don't know how it happened either, but I will say that those four years of college were awesome! I have such a deep appreciation and love for art now.



The first day that I met Clint, we were hanging out at the clubhouse of our apartment complex. And they had a huge print of one of my favorite artists on the wall. In the Mountains by Albert Beirstadt (left). So I was explaining the Hudson River School and the artists and how this art piece represented transcendentalism...I was so proud that I remembered it all. And the best part was that Clint was actually interested!



Later on he admitted that he didn't know what the heck I was talking about but just pretended to be interested so it wouldn't hurt my feelings. Oh well. I still like art...even if I bore everyone else to tears with it.

Beautiful picture, I thought I had that picture hanging on my wall but as I looked closer it is almost that picture. It is for sure the same place but mine has some deer in the picture and the colors are just a tad different. I didn't know you studied art, that is very cool, I don't know a thing about it. Hey, we missed you at lunch last week, it was fun, we'll have to try and hook up again another time, I hope you got feeling better
