I found this lady at a flea market a few years ago and had to have her. My son said that he found her unsettling, but I love her. I wonder, did the person who spray painted her plaster body consider her a sacred object? She may not be the Queen of Heaven but she is the queen of my gallery where she sits in the picture window, and blesses the space.

Sister Wendy
Pic from the Encyclopedia BritanniaAnyone remember Sister Wendy ? During the 90's she led us on a grand art tour on PBS. I happened to come accross her book: My Favorite Things, and I am jealous of all the great art that she has experienced. From the National Gallery in London, to the Mauritshuis in the Hauge, to the Prado in Madrid, this lady has made the rounds to share her favorites with us. I actually think the title of the book should be These Are A Few of My Favorite Things, because of all she's seen she must have an ever growing list of favorites.
Can I agree with any of her picks? Yes! The Starry Night by Van Gogh. I saw it in Houston in 2006 when it was on loan from MOMA; what an emotional piece. But that is the only one I have seen with my own eyes. This woman has been to museums that I can one hope to visit.
