At the Seattle Art Museum recently I stopped to take a photo of a favorite exhibit: “Inopportune: Stage One,” also known as Tumbling Tauruses. I always like viewing this explosive-looking sculpture from the side, for some reason. Now I read it’s coming down soon. Go see them before they are gone!

This small painting, Three Peaches on a Plate by Henri Fantin-Latour, was painted in 1868, almost 150 years ago. I saw it at the Seattle Art Museum Impressionism show. I think it was my favorite painting there.
