One of my very favorite artists is Jason deCaires Taylor. His underwater sculptures have long intrigued me. I can't WAIT to get underwater and see them. We've interviewed Jason about the Underwater Sculpture Park he created in Grenada.

Central Park: Solitude and Grace in the Heart of America’s Largest City

After taking a recent trip to NY a week ago and spending the better part of a perfect day in Central Park, I actually forgot I was in a noisy city. The weather was perfect, and I was able to run around on the soft grass with my niece and nephew and sit under a shady tree. Upon my return I was inspired to learn more about our nation’s largest urban oasis.

We had such fun playing at the Kalamazoo Institute of Arts this week! They have a small collection of art from all periods, and currently have a Georgia O'Keefe exhibit. BUT! the best part was the ARTworks interactive gallery! This is "A special place for young visitors! "Paint" with virtual paint on a giant computer screen. Change the colors in a work of art with a computer. Enjoy books, blocks, drawing and more!" The KIA is located in downtown Kalamazoo, Michigan.
