getty blaster

watercolour, micron pen; the getty center was awe-inspiring, nestled in the hills above LA. And, like my favourite London art haunts, completely free to get into. I went in the late afternoon, knowing that I'd catch that glorious pacific ocean evening light. The grounds were spectacular, and while I spent a lot of time in a dark room reading medieval manuscripts (a special exhibit, i couldn't miss it, and was pleased to understand a lot of the old french), i didn't really look at the collections so much as the space. Though this one hug piece called Uberorgan was pretty mental.

I sketched, and allowed people to watch, which is unusual for me. Normally I say, 'no, please don't', or practically close my book to outside views, but this day I felt good. One guy did ask me if I was to be exposing myself at the getty center sometime. You what? i responded. He meant exhibiting, of course, and didn't understand how i could think anything else.
