15th Annual ARTfeast Santa Fe

G R A Z I N G   T H E   G A L L E R I E S

I took in the Edible Art Tour (EAT) on Friday evening, part of the weekend ArtFeast  event that celebrates food, galleries and Santa Fe's youth. Forty galleries, both on Canyon Road and downtown, paired with some of Santa Fe's top chefs, restaurants and caterers to present snazzy hors'doeuvres, desserts and lots of fun.

Folks grazed for three hours enjoying nibbles and wonderful art. Some of the gallerists themed their event - a swarthy Captain Hook greeted you at one gallery, Scottish kilts at another, and La Dolce Vita turned up as well.  And there was music in the air everywhere - Spanish guitars, marimbas, violins, and Santa Fe's own, Bill Hearn.  I tried to catch the gist of this wonderful evening with my camera.

J. Paul Getty Museum - Inside & Out

- Another side trip - 4 days Chasing L.A. -

The Getty has been called the modern 'Acropolis' and when you take the tram up the hillside and come upon this jutting, curvaceous, very white museum and its spectacular perch overlooking Santa Monica, Los Angeles and the Pacific Ocean, you understand the comparison.  

Built  by Pritzker prise-winning architect Richard Meier, the Getty comprises six buildings on 110 acres, and the beautiful museum houses European paintings, drawings, sculpture, illuminated manuscripts, European and American photographs, and decorative arts.  

I started taking photographs and realized that the wonderful  dichotomy of the stark exterior and opulent interior decorative arts wing would make a playful visual essay. So here goes:
