Back to School & Mysterious Eyes
Coming back from dropping off our younger son at his school, we saw these pretty cool, googly eyes starring at us from across the Worlds Fair Park in Knoxville, TN. They are affixed to the Knoxville Museum of Art, with their motto, “Open your eyes. Open your mind.” How true.
I actually liked how these eyes appeared watchful over the park. They didn’t seem eerie just artistic, but they did seem to follow us…We had another great stay in Knoxville on our way home from Sewanee, TN.
It’s always hard when my boys go back to school and there is an adjustment period of getting use to being an empty nester — again — just when you get used to them being back home for the summer. I hope this is a good year for them both and for us all, for that matter.
Here’s another “mysterious eye” post from The Seventh Dimension blog. The post shows eye murals in the newly rebuilt World Trade Center Subway stop in New York.
Coincidentally, however, I was focused on the Eye of Hurricane Gustav. I’m relieved that it didn’t hit New Orleans directly but the area still took a beating. Now, we’re just waiting for the next one.

I'm an artist, wife and mother of two boys. I started my illustration business, The Occasional Palette over 35 years ago, when my oldest son was an infant. Once my children were in school, I began painting decorative, faux finishes and murals through my second business, Casart, now over 30 years old. My third business, Casart Coverings, is a springboard from my second.
