Before the storm

 This morning before the storm hits just a short visit to the Nelson-Atkins.  This weekend is member appreciation weekend and the last weekend for the Hokusai Exhibit.  

You would not believe how long the line was to get into the exhibit when I got out.  I think it went from the exhibit to the parking garage.  I would not have stood in that long line.  There were so many people in the exhibit it too was crowded.  I'm glad I gone before.

I liked this one.

Katsushika Hokusai Series

Frederick Carder

I love the fishes

Utagawa Hiroshige, Spiny Lobster and Shrimp

Ryuyukyo Shinsai, Two Crabs

I liked the little crabs.

Felix Bracquemond, Fish

Odilon Redon, The Misshapen Polyp, Plate No. 3

This was my favorite on my first visit to the exhibit and it still is.

While I was there I stopped by the John Smart Miniature Exhibit.

Look how small the pictures are.

Silver dollar or smaller.

Bigger an a silver dollar.

Maybe 2x2

These are about a quarter 

Smaller than a dime.

These tiny pictures would be so hard to paint.

This was the car parked beside me.

I came home after noon but it was already misting.  The streets were not slick at all yet.  I'm hoping for lots of snow!  I will keep you updated.
