Contrary to popular belief, the extent of my artsiness involves dignifying city murals. I'm no artist - and that's no confession, just fact. I've been meaning to be more conscious towards art, and bloggers like Amy and Tara have often pressed that urge. I used to love art and eventually I strayed from it. Luckily for me, my friend Lauren suggested that we visit the state art gallery. I hadn't ever been before, so we were determined to make the trip happen in the holidays. (It's hard to come by like-minded people who will readily embrace art.) So we cut to the chase, and set off on our pursuit.
After appreciating prolific exhibitions, we decided we were done for the day. The art mission deemed fulfilling for our palates. We proceeded to a tucked-away café, according to Lauren's expertise. I'm an absolute sucker for little cafés, especially with an earthy yet urban twist. This one ceremoniously filed itself under that classification. We stuck around for a bit, chatted some more over fruity drinks and laughed lots. (Lauren pulled out mini M&Ms for the second time that day. Obviously, she knows all about adding flavour to life.) In any case, I'd be willing for a sequel to this new art-bound series.

ReplyDeleteI LOVE art galleries and museums. There's something so special about it...I'm not sure what. This gallery looks amazing! I especially love those geometrical paintings and the strings of light bulbs. And as always, your photography is amazing. Gah.
ReplyDeleteI agree completely. Those pieces would have to be my favourites, too! And I recommend you head over to my friend Lauren's blog, she does them waaay more justice than I do.
ReplyDeleteI love being in galleries, especially when they're peaceful and airy with white walls and huge windows. And I LOVE your new layout!!! It's so great. xx
