At Chicago Art Institute

A splash of gold on
A shiny black screen reflects
Itself, its own world

Colorful nobles
Gather in little brushstrokes
In back, wild geese splash

It is only our
Scientific view that frames
Monet's color schemes

Leonardo's depth
According to perspective
As discovery

While medieval vines
Swirl around the Jesse tree
Ancient prophecy

Of Jackson Pollock's
Splash paintings in miniature
Purely aesthetic

What This Is All About

This is where I will post pictures and thoughts as I drive across the country with my son, planting apple cores as we eat the apples. If you want to see the locations of the pictures (including apple planting sites) you will be able to follow us by clicking on this picture:
