Happy Birthday, Joan Miró.

I was lucky to have grandparents that were great patrons of the arts.

On one side of the multifacited family that was mine, were grandparents who had an original Mir
ó that closely resembles this piece, Nocturne, 1940.

I have always loved Mir
ó's work.

It's wonderful. I want to make it with textiles and stitches and feel it.

They "had" a Miro? And, please tell me it's hanging on YOUR wall now? Fingers crossed, since it obviously has meaning for you beyond being a cool piece.

It still is in the family, but hanging on my brothers wall in Kansas City.

Well, crap. Post his address, I'll don my "To Catch a Thief" cat burglar gear and we'll see what happens..... Do you have a secret room where you can create a hidden shrine for it?
