Last month I spent one weekend in NJ instead of coming home. My friend Jean came to visit for a "girls' weekend". One of the things that we did was a trip to MOMA on Friday evening courtesy of Target's "Free Friday" tickets. This trip was one of the items on my bucket list, because they have Van Gogh's Starry Night. We had a marvelous time and saw lots of really cool stuff. I hadn't realized that Monet's Water Lilly paintings were a big as they are and Starry Night was amazing.
The next weekend when I was home, I was doing some work on the written portion of the HGA Certificate of Excellence that I'm working on. There are a number of design terms that I have to define, so I was poking around online to find definitions of "Rhythm" as it pertains to art. I was scrolling through the entry for Rhythm on the Artlex site (http://www.artlex.com/) and found that many of the images that are used as examples were the same paintings that I had seen the week before at MOMA! It was an interesting moment of synchronicity that once again shows how the different things I do are all interconnected.
