Between attending the sessions at last week’s Adult Education Research Conference and presenting my paper The Critical Incident Questionnaire (CIQ): From Research to Practice and Back Again, I was also able to visit the Art Institute of Chicago (3 times!).
The new Modern Wing is amazing, and the entire collection somehow seems infused with life, vitality, and reflection (the final being my need to spend time with art when I am especially filled with stress and work). I find art a spiritual encounter that often initiates reflective practice on many levels. I enjoyed my visits so much I even joined as a member!
I uploaded my pictures from the museum to Flickr.
Great photos. I love the furniture. I’d like to live with the lamps and couch but then I’d be too afraid to live with it. Ha! The photo you took with your reflection in glass is pretty cool!
I am in Chicago now. Sadly, had no time to visit anything tho. I did get to enjoy the Art Institute and other fine Chicago places a few years ago.

Thank you for the feedback! I loved the Tiffany lamp — the colors were richer than I could capture.
Did you see the one with my reflection in the elevator glass?
