“Color directly influences the soul, color is the keyboard, the eyes are the hammer,
the soul is the piano with many strings.”
—Kandinsky
“Autumn Impression” by Kandinsky
Over Presidents’ Day weekend, my husband and kids and I took a road trip up to Easthampton, Massachusetts to visit with friends. We had a really great time sharing meals, stories, playing games, and going on walks together.
One very special thing we did was a day trip to the Smith College Art Museum in Northampton.
Here are a few of my favorite paintings. Please forgive any shortcomings in my phone-photos.
Enjoy!
