Blog about some books acquired, other stuff

My family and I took our Florida asses to the West Coast for a wonderful week earlier this month. We flew into LA, stayed in Santa Monica for a few days and nights, riding bikes up and down the beautiful coast and visiting proximal neighborhoods. We later drove east to Joshua Tree, where we stayed in a lovely little house for a few days, visiting the National Park as well as nearby towns and…

Hey, what are your top 5 pieces of art?

A tough one! I’m very confident about the top two but then it’s mostly vibes. Apologies for these probably low quality screen shots and pictures I’ve taken at museums….

1. Snake River & the Tetons - Ansel Adams. Idc if it makes me the basic-est bitch of all time but I can never get enough of his photographs and this one is forever my favorite.

2. Two cut sunflowers - Van Gogh. Same goes for my guy here, perfection, I love it all, wrinkles my brain just right.

3. Noah Purifoy - this is just one part of this big cool installation of found/discarded items this guy did in Joshua Tree. So many fun structures to explore

4. Sainte Chappelle, Paris. I’m a big appreciator of stained glass and cathedrals so this place made me 🫠 pics don’t do it justice

5. Self portrait - Joseph Ducreux. Ok this one is a little less about the specific art and more about how much I enjoy going to museums and making the faces in the artwork. This was one of my faves

Thank you! ❤️

Have you explored the Noah Purifoy Museum in Joshua Tree?

It’s a donation-based, outdoor collection of large-scale sculptures that Noah Purifoy created in the 1980’s out of discarded objects on the desert floor in Joshua Tree.

😍👂 The Poisoned Chocolates Case (Anthony Berkeley, author; Gordon Griffin, narrator) - FANTATIC, such a great examination of the detective novel plotting, super entertaining with a surprising but welcome lack of period-typical casual racism/antisemitism, barely any misogyny!

LA artists at the Hammer

Made in L.A. 2023: Acts of Living takes its title from a quote by the renowned Los Angeles artist Noah Purifoy, which is inscribed on a plaque at the Watts Towers: “One does not have to be a visual artist to utilize creative potential. Creativity can be an act of living, a way of life, and a formula for doing the right thing.”
