Looking closely at Berthe Morisot's paintings, they are very different than Manet's. She used color to define her compositions and there doesn't seem to be distinct outlines. The results are beautiful.

It seems like Manet had a thing for Morisot. Then again, who wouldn't want to paint such an attractive subject, who happens to be an artist herself. You can see Manet's obsession at the Legion of Honor Museum in San Francisco.

Two of the eminent artists in the Impressionist period were inspiring each other to create paintings that responded to each others' subject matter and compositions. The Legion of Honor's exhibit of "Manet & Morisot" is a story of the collaboration between these two artists and how they approached their paintings. We can fill in the back story of how they ended up being in-laws.

Co-curated by Hamza Walker, Bennett Simpson, and Kara Walker, the Monuments show explores how public art influences historic memory, national identity, and current events. The show was inspired by the removal of Confederate monuments following recent racially motivated violence and how artists can repurpose the remnants into artwork that discusses today's challenging topics.

The name of the bakery is a play on the Chinese breakfast/brunch dim sum, which means "a little bit of heart." The bakers at Bake Sum adhere to that concept in their work by serving delicious bake goods that reflect flavors and ingredients that are close to their hearts. Their "Crosubi", a hybrid of croissant and musubi, was recognized by the New York Times as one of the best dishes in the U.S. Try one for yourself and you'll see why...

When we used to dine at Trader Sam's, the staff would give us a peek of the Enchanted Tiki Room to show our underaged party what cool experience we would have once everyone turned 21. It finally happened and our party was all of drinking age. And, it was pretty cool...
