Cruisin' the art scene baby!
The last time Kate was at the art institute she was 6 and King
Tut was making his first tour of the U.S. This time we had the
opportunity to visit the regular collection that this incredible
museum has to offer, including American Gothic by Grant Wood,
The Child's Bath by Mary Cassatt and A Sunday on La Grande
Jatte by George Seurat. We loved it.

Did you know that this is actually the artist's
dentist and his dentist's daughter? All inspired
by a window.

Did We Mention The Stairs?
Oh yeah, and they paint those as well. It's a
hilly environment - and they used it well.

Mary Cassatt spent time in Paris with the rest
of the impressionist painters but was actually
a native of the U.S.
