"Art is not what you see, but what you make others see." ~Edgar Degas
Friday eve there were two more Valentine-themed art openings. Here are some of the things you might have seen had you been able to pry yourselves away from the Olympics.
The Washington Galleries show had a lot whimsical imagery as their call said they were seeknig "funny, silly, sappy, quirky, corny, odd, goofy, and peculiar musings on love and romance in the form of visual, written, or fine art for a show entitled "My Funny Valentine."
The theme for this show is inspired by a popular jazz standard written by Rodgers & Hart in 1937 for the musical Babes in Arms: 'My funny valentine/ My sweet comic valentine/ You make me smile with my heart/ Your looks are laughable/ Unphotographable/ Yet you're my favorite work of art . . . '
