Govindas and Matisse

I admit that sometimes we do need to leave the Peninsula.  We are in a great position because both the city and Sunshine coast are just up the road.

We took a trip into town to have lunch and see the Henri Matisse exhibition at the Gallery of Modern Art (GoMA).  I am not sure what I was more excited about, food or Matisse.  I do love art, but food won.  We went Govindas Vegetarian Restaurant, for a greedy vegetarian girl this is heaven.  Then after eating a lot of food, we walked across the river to GoMA.  Matisse was fantastic, my girls really enjoyed it. They loved 'The Drawing Room' where they had a life model, paper, pencils and plenty of compliments.  But they loved the 'Pip & Pop, Magic Land' and went crazy for 'Yayoi Kusama, The Obliteration Room'. In the Obliteration Room they give everyone dot stickers to go crazy with.  I challenge you to find a place no-one has thought of to place your dot.

Now, my girls are so inspired by Matisse all their drawings are of nudes.  I hope they move onto another artist by the time school resumes.
