The Getty Villa and stuff...

After the Getty re-opened in 2006 after a long renovation, I've been meaning to get my butt over there.
We went yesterday - a beautiful day near the ocean :)





I found this creepy...


This too.


I thought it might be the white of their eyes but there were others that weren't as creepy :)
This one looks like he is very comfortable on that craggy rock ;)


This marble floor has about 4000 pieces!


I really like this wall :)


This is part of the Outer Peristyle


Thought this was cool - the wood railing turns into a marble wall railing




The ceiling of the Outer Peristyle


Marble overload


One of my favorite pieces. A Stargazer :)


Wow - it took a long time to load all of those. I'm off to buy a new point-and-shoot camera. I had a difficult time taking pics yesterday. Camera kept jamming and I have a lot of blurry photos.
Going to set up my studio today :)

Great to read your post, I love the "stargazer" also.
It sounds like you have some time to pursue your art.
Anticipating posts of your work.
Best wishes.

ok, the first statue is creepy!
It looks like it's going to pounce on someone, any second.
Love that railing!
maybe I'll put that in my house, lol.
