maira kalman

a few weekends back on a rainy sunday, we ended up going downtown to the maira kalman exhibit at the contemporary jewsish museum. the whole thing was really cool and dottie got into it because of the children's books she has illustrated. there were lots of paintings of dogs which was a hit! after we checked out the exhibit, they had a special program set up for the day that encouraged people to take an animal and paint it how it represents them. dottie painted a ladybug as you can obviously tell in the photo! :-)
