Instead of going quail hunting...

...I went to the High Museum of Art on Saturday. Learned a few things:

1) Andrew Wyeth made his own tempera paint with fresh egg yolks, distilled water, and pigment...and the pictures he created with it --- incredible.

2) The two new buildings at the High, designed by Renzo Piano, are astounding. The top floors of both are uniquely lit by 1,001 skylights scooped to capture northern, indirect light. Beautiful...though, IMHO, the modern art installed in these rooms doesn't quite merit the loving attention paid to the lighting. Note to museum director Shapiro...put the rotating exhibits up there, and watch what happens.

And thank goodness for small favors...I was in NYC the weekend before (not during) this year's big February snowstorm. Phew!
