We spent a wonderful evening at the Scottsdale Art Walk. First a lovely dinner at Buca di Beppo and then a stroll through a variety of art galleries. Gavin was excited to see some pieces by his favorite artist Joan Miro as well as Victor Vasarely one of the artists he has studied in his art lessons. Kyle loved the drawings by Andrew Wyeth. Gavin was also fascinated with the glasswork particularly some jellyfish sculptures by Lord Crosbie. A perfect night with my wonderful family.

I enjoyed the evening quite a bit, mostly the joy of being able to hang out with family. I was moved by the Wyeth sketches and still feel saddened by his death this summer. I also enjoyed the Rockwell, Miro and Warhol prints. There is something inspirational about seeing the works in the sizes in which they were created instead of being shrunk down for a book or computer. Dinner was delicious (which was shocking, because the last time we went there I wasn't so happy). I am reminded what a grown-up little boy we have who looks at all of the art and sees its beauty. In fact, he was the only child there and behaved just as well (if not better) than the adults. Life is good.

There was a lot, a lot of good artwork there. There was one with holes and one that was made out of wood called Lineage. I had a lot of fun.
