They hold them in a few different parts of the Bay Area, typically someday a week. We didn’t understand this ahead of time, however it was being held yesterday best across from the museum.
I ended up having a wild sea bass salmon roll for lunch as well as a salted caramel creme brulee for dessert. El Hub had a mixed plate of Vietnamese-style barbeque poultry as well as rice.
After that, with full tummies, we headed to the museum.
I’d wished to go to the museum since yesterday was the final day of their Mary Blair exhibit.
Mary Blair was an prominent member of the Disney animation team during the ’40s as well as ’50s era. Classically trained as a fine artist, she was understood for bringing a extremely colorful, lively creative style. among her numerous contributions to the Disney films from that time, she likewise developed the style as well as artwork for Disneyland’s It’s a little World.
What a amazing display as well as I came away feeling inspired.
Much of Mary’s artwork conveys a child-like sense of question that I want to channel myself, however it’s difficult sometimes, you know, when it’s buried under so much tiring blah-blah-blah adult stuff.
