Seattle Art Walk

I hadn't been on a Seattle Art Walk since college, so when a new friend of mine organized a group to meet downtown this past Thursday to visit the galleries in Pioneer Square I jumped on the idea!  Viewing art has always been an incredibly fulfilling pastime of mine.  I could explore a museum on my own for hours and be incredibly content.  Of course I love giving tours and sharing my art history knowledge with others (for those that don't know I have a BA in Art History and an MA in Victorian Art & Design), but its completely different to explore on my own.  I headed downtown an hour before I was to meet my friends so that I could get some time at the SAM (Seattle Art Museum)...I of course headed straight to the European floor which houses an eclectic collection of works from the Renaissance era to the the 19th Century.  Many of the paintings felt like 'old friends'.  As my hour quickly disappeared, I headed south to Pioneer Sq to join my friends.  Below is a selection of photos I took that night:
