Random shots at Louisiana in May

 Typical Louisiana view

Installation. Part of the Living exhibit this summer.

It's extremely inviting for children to climb on, but they are forbidden. It also looks like it would cave in if scaled. Most striking at night.

"Me Draw On iPad" David Hockney

My friend Linda is an artist on canvas as well as iPad and jewelry and bikini designer, is visiting next week and I'll have to take her to see this exhibit. It was everything I thought it might be when I saw the poster. I thought, are they going to hang a bunch of iPad's around the walls in the museum. They did. And the fun part they use the play back feature, so you can see all the steps and thought process Hockney uses while drawing. The exhibit is intimate, a small, darkened room, and you have to stand quite close to the iPads while they are on a slide show of drawings.


These are two sketches I made while sitting on an airplane with my iPhone trying to distract myself from the heavy turbulence. Simple and guadeloupe inspired.

This exhibit opens in two days. I wonder if it will be a room filled with iPads on the wall. Looking forward to seeing this. Also looking forward to one day having my own iPad. Sigh.

The Picasso Story, Berlin

We just spent a week in Berlin for Fall Break, the first school holiday for our family. We go to Berlin three times a year on average and when we go to Berlin we like to visit as many museums as possible with our son. He is only six years old, so we need to go to kid friendly museums. The first day we were there we stopped by The Picasso Story which is a permanent exhibit of the photographer Edward Quinn who took . It was a small exhibition, but kid friendly, making it a winner in my book. Christian and I got to see the work of Quinn and Picasso and Julian learned a little and had fun. I call it "home schooling" for fun.

This was a wall in the exhibition where you could leave a few thoughts behind after getting inspired by Picasso's peace doves. 

Julian and I left our mark using one of the dove Post-it notes.

Cool idea. Peace!
