Christmas break

So I have missed you, Blog!

For Christmas, my family visited a zillion of my relatives in Florida. It was a blast! We swam with manatees, went to an awesome aquarium (the MOTE in Sarasota, FL), rode segways (even my 80 year old grandfather did it!), and went to the Ringling Circus Museum and Museum of Art. Oh yeah, we spent some time on the beach too! It was a busy vacation!

(Jan de Heem- Still Life with Parrots, 1640. 

A really cool piece of art! Learned about it in my baroque art class last semester, then found it at the museum in Florida!)

When I got back home (Bath, NY), I went right to work with the artist who I work with in the summer. Alan Bennett (and his wife Rosemary) make ceramic fish and sell them at prestigious art fairs throughout the country. Made some $$ and had some fun! Below is a yellow tang- my favorite fish that they make!
