The Chesnut Trees at Osny

The following piece of artwork is Les chataigniers a Osny (The Chesnut Trees at Osny) by Camille Pissarro. This impressionist painting captures the lighting and warmth of the country side. I love the attention to detail shown in the objects in the distance. Plus I just love trees!

Going Places Sitting Down

To start off, I picked Going Places Sitting Down by Hiraki Sawa. This is a video installation that I first saw at The Frist last year. Made up of three large video panels, it moves through several scenes of tranquility and travel. While many people did not care for this installation, I loved it! So here is are a couple still shots from the installation:
