This brief collection of photos will give you an idea of some of the paintings that can be found at the Briscoe Western Art Museum in downtown San Antonio.

Ansel Adams
The best reason for my museum visit was the Ansel Adams Exhibit. It was so nice to see a lot of his work shown in one place. π
McNutt Sculpture Garden
The McNutt Sculpture Garden is a nice shady spot to get a break from the heat in downtown San Antonio. It is filled with outdoor art. There are events here too, like the Pow Wow Dancing that I was able to enjoy. And as a bonus, it is located just off of the Riverwalk.
Hotel Art
Gallery 701
Who knew there was an art gallery at the Long Center? I met this lovely individual and her friends tonight – Hallie Rae Ward. I wanted to spend more time taking photos of her art, but we started chatting, and then the Austin Ballet was beckoning.
Prisma
Has anyone tried the Prisma App yet? It is a bit different than using filters. It uses artificial intelligence to turn photos into art. It is pretty impressive and you can check out lots of user submitted results on their Facebook Page. The only thing that I find odd is that the photo outputs are a square shape. Here are a few of my sunset pictures from yesterday so you can get an idea of the power of this application. Enjoy!
East Beach
Willie
An Austin artist by the name of Wiley Ross painted this mural of Willie Nelson. It is located close to the Sixth Street entertainment district at Seventh Street and Neches Street. It is pretty awesome sight for Willie fans like me.
ο»ΏNey Day II
The Elisabet Ney Museum had its Fourth Annual Ney Day Celebration under cloudy skies and with humid weather today. It didn’t rain, so the bands could play and everyone could relax and enjoy the event.
The Color Inside
There is an innovative art exhibit on the third floor roof of the Student Activity Center on the University of Texas campus called The Color Inside. It is described on the website as “a naked-eye observatory in the heart of the main campus, where visitors view the sky through an opening in the ceiling called an oculus.” They discourage photography for some reason, but I found the space to be most photogenic on a sunny afternoon. I’ll need to return with my button hole spy camera during the sunset or sunrise hours to try for some even more awesome photos. Wish me luck!
