Wednesday Wows

Downtown Bentonville on Saturday morning - we strolled the square.  Nifty murals and there was a farmers market - huge radishes, broccoli, and gorgeous flowers in various stalls. 

This one was striking

Yep - Me and the water feature in the square

Onward to a peek into Crystal Bridges Art Museum - different and cool

In one wing of the museum, we walked into this room that had two walls filled with a plethora, a bounty, a variety spanning the ages of American art.  You get a Warhol, you get a John Singer Sargent, find the Mary Cassatt, and throw in a Maxfield Parrish for good measure.  Wow!

Just a tip of the art iceberg in Arkansas.  

Monday Moment - Where? Bentonville Arkansas

Ray and I drove six hours to Bentonville, Arkansas.  Here's Ray in front of the original Wal-Mart. Yep, Sam Walton created an empire. 

Fortunately Alice Walton, who amassed a huge collection of American art, donated it all to create Crystal Bridges Art Museum. Wow. Just wow.  A lovely museum to wander and enjoy. 

And outside, fabulous nature trails with a few little sculptures along the way. How about some Chihuly glass?

Nifty dramatic art against a forested backdrop. 

 Yep, I LOVED our weekend and will be sharing a lot more of our adventures.  

And now it's Monday. Back to reality - gotta go to work to pay for vacation time.
