Yay!

We're finally starting to decorate. Here are a couple pieces we've recently added to our walls:

Top: Wilco print
Bottom: Portraits of us painted by my talented husband

(Oh... I tried to take a portrait with my new glasses to show you, but let's just say the results weren't leaving me too thrilled. You can see the actual frames here- pretend they're on the above painting!)

Christina's World

I've always loved this painting. And, recently, we got to see the original at the MoMA in New York. It's painted by Andrew Wyeth.

Can you tell that Christina's figure seems a bit disproportioned? (Look at her hands.) I never knew why. But, the girl in the painting is Christina Olson, a friend of the artist, who was crippled with Polio.

And, although there is a sense of isolation... I still really enjoy looking at it. Don't you?
