Art Date

I had a Friday evening to myself last week. I really like having time on my own to wander and/or wonder. It's very good for my soul. I love doing things with my Tod and my littles, but when they're not available I'm very good at and very pleased to entertain myself.

So when Rachel finds herself alone in Los Angeles on a Friday night, where does she take herself? LACMA (LA County Museum of Art). And dig this - it's free for LA County Residents on Friday night. So dreamy! Here are some pics of what made my heart go all aflutta.

Love these bovine. Tod pointed out that I love texture. True dat.

Russian Lovers

Lovely Paul Klee. Great sun.

My old Picasso enthusiasm was excited that I revisited it.

Stellar Picasso sculpture

A whole lovely slew of Giacomettis

I love my legs in this.

All those wonderful Matisse busts in front of a Picasso blue period piece. Mmmm. 

There's a Tim Burton exhibit at LACMA now. I didn't see it, but enjoyed the huge balloon.

Love love love mosaics. This was lovely. I 'm keeping a stash of mosaic pics for as reference for the day I can install some in my home.

That's a thistle. How did they make a thistle so gorgeous?

Talking to Mother Mary during self-timer portrait in front of the famous lamp posts.

Then on Saturday I went to the Getty Villa with mi amiga, Felice. The Getty Villa is the smaller, more charming version of The Getty in Malibu.

Again...transfixed by the beauty of the mosaics

It was bloody sunny and I didn't bring my shades. Thank you for providing free umbrellas GV.

 Feeling happy and inspired. Stoked I live in a city that offers world class art. Woohoo!!
