So hop in your truck (or other suitable vehicle) and come on down to State Street to check out the Holiday Art Fair. It is held at the Madison Museum of Contemporary Art and the Overture Center for the Arts located on the  State Street mall in downtown Madison, Wisconsin.

My booth will be in the center of the lobby area of the Madison Museum of Contemporary Art. Look for the photography gallery that looks like a garden abloom with botanicals!

Admission: $5 for adults; children under 12 free.

Diamond in the Sky

Michigan Avenue in Chicagos Loop

Michigan Avenue in Chicago’s Loop

Though I don’t have the urban stamina to live in Chicago – I lived on the near North Side for three years in the late 70s and know that to be true – I love visiting the city a few times each year, preferably every season.

On our winter visit, we explored Michigan Avenue and Millennium Park. I took this photograph standing on the stone stairway that leads into the Art Institute, shooting north up the avenue. The snow cover and chilly temperature added to the overall experience.

I like how only part of the diamond top of the Smurfit-Stone Building is snow covered. I love that building, and I love its name. I always think I’m going to see little blue cartoon characters hanging around the lobby, but no. So far there have been no Papa Smurf sightings!
