I had the great delight to visit the Speed Museum with my Mother to view a collection of Impressionist paintings. The collection was hung on serene deep blue walls. How lovely to visit and share our thoughts on art, life, and our impressions of great artworks. On tuesday, my dear Mother celebrates her 84th birthday. I feel so fortunate to be with her. Hope each of you are off to a good start today. Leave good first impressions wherever you go!

Happy Birthday to your mom! A wonderful birthday gift to celebrate her day and doing the things you both love. xo
Mother - daughter days are so good for the heart and soul. Happy Birthday to your wonderful mother!
The museum sounds wonderful - deep blue walls is unusual for a museum; it sounds amazing and I would love to see that too! How nice that you have your mother to share that with!
Happy week ;)
How lucky to be able to see some Impressionist paintings in person. My mom and I visited a Monet exhibit a few years ago. The paintings look so much brighter and fresher in real life than in prints, don't they?
what a wonderful way to spend time with your beloved mother ~ the one who makes so many first impressions upon us.
Birthday greetings to your mother. My mother took me to museums as a child and instilled a life long passion in the
arts. In her later years (in her 80s) learned to paint.
Welcome back!

Happy Birthday to your Mom!! What an idyllic trip to the museum!! I bet those paintings popped off of that deep blue wall.
We're so blessed to have a museum like the Speed here. Happy birthday to your mama!
I love impressionist paintings! Hope your mom has a wonderful birthday. Carla
I'm hoping to get down there and see that exhibit soon. :)
Please give your mom a big Birthday hug from me Patricia. It's been way too long since I've seen her in person. Much love from the Jackson's down the hill.
This is a happy post!
Enjoy the company of your mom and family!
So lovely that you can share these moments!
Thinking of you!
Say happy birthday to her from me!
She must be so delighted to have you there!
Big hug and a kiss to you!

Happy birthday to your cherished mother.
Nice painting. It is telling a story for me here, as my point of view.

Yes most definitely, first impressions do matters, I'm with you there...They have been so crucial through my whole life...Happy birthday to your mum, enjoy each others company...mums are simply special, divine creature :))
I can't imagine a better day. Wishing your mother a wonderful birthday - hoping you'll be there to celebrate it with her!
I am sure you and your Mom were smiling ear to ear as you shared your love for art - so beautiful.
Please extend Happy Birthday Wishes to your Mom, a very extraordinary woman!
How lovely - nothing gets me quite like the impressionists for a quiet, contemplative afternoon.
That just makes me smile. I wish your Mother a very Happy Birthday!
