It's a beautiful sunny Friday day with a cool breeze. Even after my workout and for no apparent reason, I'm feeling "muddy, muddy." Hmmmm? Shall I think about it or should I just feel it out and know that it will pass?

Anywho, yesterday evening Jason and I went to the LACMA to check out the John Baldessari exhibit. After 5PM on Mon., Tues., Thurs., and Fri., the museum is FREE to LA residents with valid Id's. WoooHooo!

A few minutes into it, we realized we were seeing the exhibit backwards; we had entered on the wrong side. I was enjoying it and felt quite inspired. As we continued, it sort of fizzled out for me. I wonder if I would have felt different, had I entered on the left side (the 'right way'). I was not familiar with his name nor work and I was looking forward to it after seeing his images online. Though I did walk away with some ideas for a current project, the final critique- "it was good, but not great."

The piece here is titled "Her Vertigo." Though I had this idea prior to having seen his work, it is very 'Baldessari.' Oh Well!

Tomorrow, I will fill in the details of this current project.

By the way, I'm feeling better already and hungry for some lunch. I knew it would pass.

Happy Friday!
