Close Encounters

Close encounters of the snake kind...

of the horned animal kind...

of the bear kind...

of the zebra kind...

of the giraffe kind...

Okay, you get the idea.

We had a great time checking out the new Bean Museum upgrades during spring break.

She's got the whole world on her hand...

Visiting

 We were able to visit a lot of friends and family on our Spring Break vacation.

It was so great to see everyone again!

More Very Fine Art

Have you ever built something out of legos?  This guy sure has.

It's shocking!

The artist, Nathan Sawaya (self portrait pictured above), had an exhibit of his art at the Kimball Art Center in Park City while we were visiting so we went to see.

All of his art was made entirely out of legos.  All of the legos that he uses are purchased in sets from the store, the same as most people buy legos.

The thought of creating "art" out of legos was novel to me.  We thought it was very cool.

The "pop-up" book was the favorite of most of the boys.

The one pictured below was my favorite and also Onion Ring's.

Buttermilk Sky deeply contemplated the experience.

Very Fine Art

The HFAC (Harris Fine Arts Center) atrium is a very special place on BYU campus.  It is where prestigious student artwork is displayed.

Aunt Holli had some artwork on display that we got to go see.

We thought her ceramic sculptures were very cool.

We kind of miss this place.  Buttermilk Sky used to have his piano lessons in here (from the best teacher, ever), and we also used to like to go exploring and playing on campus.

So after everyone else left, Eggs, Junior and I (after riding up and down the elevators) checked out the new artwork outside the BYU Museum of Art.  It was very fowl.  (I know, I'm so punny.)  Luckily we didn't see any angry birds.  At least not openly--these birds did seem a little suppressed.  Meet "Tweety Cubed".

This one is titled "Bird Poop".

This one is titled "Bird Poop II".

"Cat's Eyes" (he's got them on the birds).

Or, "Cat Got No Tongue".

"Serenity".

"Doe, a Deer".

"Buck, a Deer".

"Charge!"

"Perfect Swing".

"Sharp".

"Dull (and Heavy)".

"Huuuuh"
