Final AZ Museums, return

Final blog on our wonderful trip.

From the Tucson Art Museum
"Blessing of the Shield"
Dow Crowley

"Coffee Grounds"
Don Crowley

"Little Sister"
Harley Brown

From the exhibition on wearable art
"On a Columnar Style"
Barbara Penn



"Nim Maminawemda,"
Tom Uttech
Somewhere I have seen his work before. Maybe in the 
National Wild Life Art Museum, in Jackson, WY

Detail of above.  Most of the birds illustrated are actual species

"White Clothes"
Denham Clements
This is an actual painting

"Pantagonia, Series 2"
James Cook

"Surrounded by Indians"
David Bradley
This Indian artist has redrawn "Whistler's Mother"

"Trail of the Navajo"
Olav Wieghorst

"Wyoming No. 44"
William "Billy" Schenck
A Painting inspired by a scene from the movie
"Once Upon a Time in the West"
with Charles Bronson as the good guy, and
Henry Fonda uncharacteristically as the really, really bad guy. 

"The Fashionable Lady"
Juan Tores

We are now at the fabulous Musical Instruments Museum of  Phoenix. 
It is the largest museum of its kind in the world. 
There was a only US visit of ancient instruments from the Hunan Museum.

A Player Organ
It


Look at the size of the Bass Trumpet on the bottom.

Our wonderful hostess, Pilar

One final Arizona sunset.

And the huge blue  moon which became eclipsed as we were at the Airport, 4:00 AM

Early AM on the plane

And back over Chicago

Could this be Wrigley Field.  It looks like major construction going on. 

Flying into Providence.
After two weeks of blinding sunlight and warmth, 
it was hard to face the frozen scene at the TF Green airport. 
Certainly as full and rewarding a trip as we have had, 
and a great way to celebrate out 50th wedding anniversary, 
and Susan's 75th. Birthday.
