Although I am a day late (it's Midterm Week), I wanted to share my fun-filled Sunday with you! Accompanied by three of my close friends, I went to lunch in the city, walked through the Art Institute of Chicago (the best museum in the world), and explored the city. The Chicago Marathon had just ended and it was so exciting to see the runners all over with huge smiles! Congrats to anyone who ran!! Here are a few snaps of my Sunday Funday!
Just outside of the Art Institute of Chicago, there is an adorable garden connected to Millennium Park. I felt it was necessary to get some pictures with the beautiful backdrop! These are my friends Jack, Jessica, and Mahdi.
"SeaScape" by Pierre-August Renoir is my favorite painting at the Art Institute. There is something about the colors and intricacy that makes the waves extremely calming.
"Sky Above Clouds" by Georgia O'Keeffe hangs on the wall just before her other collections down the stairs. This piece gives a beautiful abstract depiction of the clouds above and to me this work of art emphasizes the wonder associated with the sky.
If you have not been already, I highly suggest you make your way to the Art Institute! Each time I have gone I see new art that I did not see the times before. The massive museum is a nice place to get away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Chicago and provides a calming setting to clear one's mind. Have a fabulous week! See you soon for Thankful Thursday!
