Nana Knit at the Snite

The Snite Art Museum at Notre Dame University in Indiana has to be one of the best art collections I've seen in a University so far in the United States.  And what made it even MORE special was coming across a small painting my Paula Modersohn-Becker. Unfortunately the Snite is rather stingy when it comes to sharing images of their collection and I can't find this particular painting anywhere online. I have loved Becker's work for a long time but to actually see one in the real, I was over the moon and NOT disappointed.

I called the wee guerilla knitting Nana knit in honor of my nana Sally. Lit a candle for her in the grotto near the lake. Such a beautiful campus to walk around, with gargoyles on some of the buildings and a gorgeous lake with plenty of ducks and swans.
