There are a few things on the planet I really appreciate and one of them is good art. I recently fell in love with a painting that is owned by one of our family friends. The painting is from Iran and it's of a woman who looks like a girl in one of my favorite paintings at The Getty Museum. The painting from Iran is so beautiful because the woman is just glowing. She looks peaceful and graceful and lovely. The colors are brilliant and rich and I just can't help but notice that the painter must have been viewing her with the most loving eyes you can imagine.
It got me thinking about the paintings at Disneyland. There is one that captures my attention of a woman on Pirates of the Caribbean. She looks strong, bold and beautiful. Are those paintings ever for sale or are they forever paintings for each ride? There are also quite a few paintings on the Haunted Mansion ride. The Pirates of the Caribbean painting I recognized when I did a google search but I haven't had the opportunity to study the Haunted Mansion ones as well. I wonder if they are meticulously placed on each ride.
Are any of them of Walt Disney's wife or inspired by her? Did he paint?

Disneyland Perspective
I'm happy to go to Disneyland because I am reminded that we humans really actually do like one another and we enjoy being around one another. I credit Walt Disney for creating an atmosphere where, whatever time it may be, whether in California, Florida, Tokyo, Shanghai or Paris, people are focused on coexisting in peace and harmony.
I walk through with my little family and am grateful when we arrive at a place where we can view the electrical parade, "Paint the Night". We sit down by the Small World ride and I decide to take a quick whirl with my son. When we were on the ride, there was a girl who walked out near our boats and pulled a curtain back with a hook in hand.
I, naturally, looked to see what was behind it and it looked to me like a little boat station. It was much like the area on Pirates of the Caribbean I talked about in a prior blog where the boat trail veers off into another. Areas where they take care of the boats... It makes sense. Anyway, when we arrived back at our spot to view the parade I couldn't help but notice that there were people EVERYWHERE!
We found some nice people to sit next to and I say they are nice because they shared their viewing space with us. We enjoyed the show! The characters were really close to perfect. We get annoyed when we aim for perfection, whether it's a good spot to view the parade, or aiming to look more like the princesses in the parade... because, us humans are born with imperfections. And us imperfect people, somehow manage to coexist with people who think our imperfections are just perfect.
