Dolphins

Dolphins are one of my favorite animals. I’ll always remember the story I heard about dolphins helping humans because it opened my eyes to one of the most wonderful creatures in the sea… dolphins are just as cute as can be and I’m hoping they’ll always play around me.
The story goes a little something like this:
A group of teenagers were getting life guarding lessons somewhere on the outskirts of Australia. One dolphin came swimming over and called another, followed by a few more, and soon enough… A swarm of dolphins surrounded the group and swam circles around them for hours. Every time one member of the group attempted to swim away from the swarm, they would bump the human back into the middle of the circle with the others. This went on for about 4 hours when finally the instructor got a glance of a huge shark swimming under the pack of dolphins. The dolphins were saving the humans from a potential attack. When the shark left, the dolphins did as well and the group of lifeguards were able to return home safely.
Enjoy the video. Love.

Cupid's Arrows

Who is Cupid?
What I like about this painting is how it depicts Cupid as a child.

Who are we?
What I like about this photo is it fits right into the museum and its so easily available to us.

This photo is one I was inspired to take at the museum.
What I like about this photo is the woman with child in a calm and peaceful setting.

What I like about all three artistic displays is how all three are female/woman with child. The reality is, if you lift a woman, you lift a child... and the reverse is also true.

Interpretations

 

This is the first photo of a painting I took at the Getty. Camilla thought this painting was scary looking so I took the liberty to post it just for her! :D What I like about it most is the description, "evoking a child's perceptions of a world scaled for grown-ups" because the main focus is according to a child in the work. After I read the description I stared at the painting for a while thinking about how children must interpret this incomprehensible world built for adults. I like how the artist made everything so large around the little girl who stands somewhere in between apprehension, love and wonder.

I like this painting all the way from this guy's pose to his expressions, fashion and movement. The portrait evokes a relaxing and lite energy, that of which I thoroughly enjoy.

This painting is one of my very favorite. I like the look of the girl, the colors used to frame and outline her features, her expression and the entire scheme of the portrait. I suppose I was drawn so much to this one because I can identify with and almost see myself in her.

This painting... I mean, how would you not think its amazing? This piece by Claude Monet makes me want to just hop in and get on one of the boats to see what's going on. The painting is stunning, to say the least.

More to come from the Getty. I hope you are enjoying your introductory impromptu tour. :)

Exploring the Getty

 The Getty Museum is located off of the 405 fwy in Los Angeles and is home to an extensive collection of visual arts pieces we had the pleasure of exploring. When you arrive at the Getty, the parking structure leads you to a tram, which you then take to the center to explore all there is to offer at the Museum. When you arrive inside of the greeting area at the center, you will find maps to help direct your journey.

The Italians and I browsed through a few different areas of the museum and were able to enjoy works from various artists. This fountain below is one that stands in the center of the museum and looks refreshing to take a dip in, although you might get in trouble if you tried swimming in it.The outdoor areas also contain magnificent views of the entire surrounding areas of Los Angeles.

On the next blog I'd like to share a few of the pieces with you that caught my eye.
For now, I hope you're having a wonderful day.
