It will come as no surprise to you that I make frequent stops at the Museum of Fine Arts (MFA) here in Boston. It's quite close by and I'm currently taking a class there every Monday. Every time I go to the museum I try to take a few minutes (even just 15 – 20) minutes to wander into an area or an exhibit I haven't seen before. Here's a peek at some of my recent wandering (also, can I have a scarab necklace, please?):
This is a museum selfie that pretty much captures my feelings about being surrounded by lots of art:
Yay! I wonder what I will discover on my next visit to a corner of the MFA?
Thanks for stopping by!
Okay so Zetsu is Japanese?

Nishida Jun, spirited conceptual ceramic artist and inspiration to many aspiring potters, has passed away at the young age of 28, March 27th, 2005.
Jun-san was killed during the building of an electric kiln for the people of Bali. The preservation of Bali’s indigenous pottery tradition was his dream and life work, and Jun-san strongly believed that technological advancements/assistance could help the islanders nurture and retain their pottery traditions as an effective industry.
He will be remembered for his brilliantly massive porcelain art, especially his Zetsu series, which both expanded and transcended the boundaries between glaze and clay. His works were innovations in glazing, forming, and firing, and continues to inspire fans around the world.
Jun-san’s sudden and tragic death has deeply saddened all those who have been touched by his life and his art. He will be missed but not forgotten, as we must console ourselves with the thought that Jun-san’s life was lost during the pursuit of his life’s passion, and with the reassurance that his life, embodied in his art, will continue to touch the hearts of many.
Oh my gosh…such a tragic story.
