We haven't been to an exhibition in awhile but today's the day! The JMW Turner exhibition at the Getty Museum in Los Angeles.
Traveling can be a bit dicey, because I'm never sure how I'll feel, but when this came up and I'm actually feeling pretty good we decided to go for it.
Haven't seen a lot of Turner in person so am really looking forward to it. And insterestingly enough I've never been to the Getty! After a mid-morning visit with mixed media artist extraordinaire Marylinn Kelly (mail art, rubber stamp designer and True Color artist) we'll head to the museum and then have a leisurely drive home after rush hour. I'll report in on Thursday!
Too bad we can't meet-up in Ventura! Wave as you go by... I leave for there tomorrow AM!
ReplyDeleteErin, just heard how your visit with our Marylinn went (back, back, Envy) and am thinking of you at the Getty, gobsmacked by Turner! I've been meaning to write to you for ages but Disorganization seems to be my default position. Much love, and more soon,
ReplyDeletebobbie - Enjoy your California time!!

Melissa - We had a grand day - got home around 8:30 exhausted but so glad we went - a good time was had by all, including Norty Weasel!

Turner's light, as you share it here, gives me goosebumps. What a fine visit, I actually feel younger today. You and Margot are tonic. I am in the process of fashioning a small bookcase for said Norty Weasel for his gift of a weasel-sized library. That was a long day for you. I hope the other drivers behaved, though the worst sort of nortiness is pretty much to be expected. Turner! Be still my heart. I'll watch for your next post. xo
ReplyDeleteMarylinn - What a wonderful visit - we had such a great time chatting and sharing all our art,reading and past experiences. And Turner - yes, yes, yes!
