Paint Wall

This is a nice piece of abstract art work my kid is working on......at least I am guessing it is abstract. This is from a few weeks back at the new Children's Discovery Museum. They have a glass wall there that the kids get to paint all over and then when it is full they spray it down with water and squeegee it to clean all the paint off so the next group of kids can paint all over it.

Hood Ornaments

Beth, the kids and I all went to the National Automobile Museum last week for an outing. There are a lot of really cool cars there going clear back to a few steam powered models. In a place like this where it is going to be hard to get any real interesting photos of an entire car one interesting thing to do is to focus more in on the details in the car's design. One area to do this, especially with the older era cars, is the hood ornaments. For the most part I don't think they do anything like these anymore except maybe on a Rolls Royce or something like that and I am not sure that they do either, so they make real a interesting subject.
