Dean Mitchell

One painting that I noticed at the Phoenix Art Museum was by Dean Mitchell.  It was a watercolor that reminded me a bit of my brother-in-law Joe's work.  So I asked if he had heard of Mitchell, and apparently his work has influenced Joe, and they are both represented by the same gallery.

Thorne Rooms at the Phoenix Art Museum

My husband had a conference in Phoenix last weekend.  Although I had spent most of my life in Utah, I had never been to Phoenix!  We took advantage of a break to go to the Phoenix Art Museum.  They don't have many famous pieces, but they do have 20 of the Thorne Miniature Rooms (Chicago has 68).  They were fun to see.
