that looks familiar....

at first glace, we didn't think much of this article in the kansas city star:



it was an interesting and uplifting read about a local artist and professor from the kansas city art institute who was retiring after 48 years of inspiring students.  his plan?  to live in the present and focus more on his craft.

one of his original pieces accompanied the article; the piece entitled Brookside Park Houses immediately resonated with us because...


that's our house on the left!  the painting, done from the top of the hill just outside our front door must have been created before our house was painted yellow, but we don't mind, we were just shocked to find it the subject of such a beautiful piece of art!  here's a pic we snapped from a similar vantage point last year...


the full article can be read here:  http://www.kansascity.com/2013/04/25/4202802_after-48-years-retiring-art-professor.html  and if anyone knows how we can get in touch with the artist, we'd love to hear from you.
