Women's Living Expo

Now that I am back from my trip to Europe, I am starting to develop ideas for my booth at a trade show where I will be exhibiting in October; the Women's Living Expo in Colorado Springs features products and services that are of interest to women. As I specialize in juvenile and baby designs, I will be showing images suitable for murals as well as scrap-booking products.

Musée De L'Elysée

Today I visited another museum in Lausanne, Switzerland, the Musée de L'Elysée. This one is entirely dedicated to photography; the theme of this particular show is "adolelesence"; the photographs of young people were created by European as well as America Artists. If it had not been pouring with rain I would have gone into the Olympic Museum next door and walked to the lake from there.

Paul Klee Museum

The new Paul Klee museum in Bern, Switzerland is on the outskirts of town, in a mordern building, constructed to hold the vast collection of the artist's work; this summer the collection was not on display, because the foundation is working on a new show; I took advantage of being there to purchased quite a few postcards to use as research; I also found out that Klee's pieces are difficult to preserve, as many of them were painted on cardboard and burlap, hence the wonderfull textures.
