On my list of things that are free and awesome in this cool new town is the Cantor Center for the Visual Arts on the Stanford campus. It's a FABULOUS art museum that is completely free and has this collection of Rodin sculpture that made me want to cry. It was so great. I spent the afternoon yesterday wandering around this museum trying to take it all in. If you're in Palo Alto on days that aren't Monday or Tuesday (they are closed this day) then you should probably go take a peek, even if only to see the Thinker. The landscape art and portrait art was fantastic too, there was almost too much to see all in one go. Here are a few pics.

The Thinker
The Gates of Hell
The Burghers of Calais
Andy Goldsworthy piece slightly hidden. So cool.
Well I'm sure I'll go back and get inspiration for much more. I started a painting yesterday but today it's been especially warm in the apartment so we've just been a little lazy. It's nice. More job searching tomorrow.
Happy Sunday!
