Recently, I stopped in for a visit at the McNay Art Museum. From the moment I drove up to the grounds I was in awe. There were sculptures, beautiful gardens, multiple paintings, and a mansion I was ready to walk into and see. Upon entering, I learned the mansion had two wings. A new wing and the original mansion section. In the new section, I viewed the de la Torre brothers exhibit. It was creativity on a higher order level. It had a deep meaning that some I’m sure will struggle with. In the original section, I found many historical art pieces and a beautiful mansion built like it is to last forever. It was exciting to see original Picasso and Monet pieces. This museum is a new favorite of mine and I’ll definitely be visiting again.

Whimsical Tree Sculptures of Galveston 2022

Hurricane Ike hit on September 13, 2008. It forever changed the landscape of Galveston, Texas and the greater Houston area for that matter. I’ll never forget it’s power. Oak trees are not native to Galveston, but many were planted over the years to provide shade and add beauty to the island. Several were wiped out by hurricane Ike. I recently discovered that many artists breathed life into the standing oak stumps by carving art into them. Some are whimsical and some have meaning but they add a beauty and leave a memory that there is always hope after the storm. Whatever storm it may be. It was a journey and adventure to locate many of them around the island but also a way to see Galveston that I have never seen before. The neighborhoods beyond the beaches and seawall. It was definitely like a treasure hunt! I won’t include all the sculptures here. They are for you to go and find! Adventure! The collection of photos here are some of my favorites. Enjoy!
