Springfield Art Museum
/I’ve been to the Springfield Art Museum several times. There are new exhibits often enough to make it a great activity anytime but particularly on a hot afternoon or a rainy day. I always enjoy seeing the Chihuly piece (glass) in the foyer and Anne Lindberg’s tilted sky (Egyptian cotton thread stretched over a hallway) again.
The first gallery we walked through had appealing vessels – my two favorites are the ones with wavy decorations that reminded me of prairie grasses/flowers.
I experimented with different perspectives of the fountain in the courtyard. My favorite is probably the most magnified…the way the water flattens and swirls once it makes the leap from above.
In another gallery, ceramic swirls caught my attention. Some were 3-D spirals…others more complex interlocked curves.
As we walked outside, we noticed the plantings done to control erosion now that the renovation along Fassnight Creek has been completed.
A butterfly and ladybug were enjoying them too!
Every visit to the museum includes something new – new exhibits or just noticing something that I didn’t during the previous visit.
