...Continued from yesterday:
    
The following day, Friday, November 23, we visited the Los Angeles County Museum of Art,

Picture
....a very open, Southern California-style structure designed with lots of outdoor spaces,
Picture
Picture
Picture
...and, of course, palm trees.
Picture
Picture
    Among LACMA's  vast holdings are plenty of kid-friendly exhibits, a few of which we visited that day,
...starting with a street lamp environment,
Picture
Picture
Picture
...that was fun to run through.
     The next object of interest we came upon was a giant sculpture by Jeff Koons called "Balloon Monkey (Orange)"

     Tom looking at the Balloon Monkey.
     The monkey is worth  $30 million,
Picture
...which is probably why there were a couple of guards around the monkey whose job it was to chase off the little kids who ran too close to the pond above which the monkey hovered.
    Frankly I found the monkey somehow kind of off-putting. I think it's the schnozzle on its face.
Picture
Picture
    I figured monkey guard duty had to be the worst.
      We then visited an intriguing exhibit of images that required the use of various kinds of 3D glasses.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
     We discovered an elevated walkway that offered a panoramic view of the Hollywood hills,
Picture
Picture
Picture
...and the Hollywood sign.
     We participated in an art class in which one could paint whatever one felt inspired to paint.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
  My painting.
    The artists' work was displayed on the walls or around the room.
Picture
Picture
      Some of the pieces were quite good.

     Sometimes I wish I were an artist. I imagine it would be so serene and satisfying to have one's workspace set up, an easel and supplies, a space to which one could retreat and then get lost for hours in the creation of one's vision.
       I suppose being an artist is somewhat related to being a writer.
      Still, I sometimes do wish I were an artist. 
       But I guess you take what God gives you and do what you can with it.

Writing is indeed a form of art. Art comes in different forms and while some may be gifted in painting, I think writing as a form of art is also a gift that you should be proud of. I sometimes wonder, too, what it would be like if I was an artist. I wonder what it would be like to have people visit an art gallery and wander upon your creation all the while creating their own interpretations of the meaning behind your artwork. It must be a wonderful feeling. But, as a writer, people do the same thing with your work. They wonder what inspired you to become a writer or what factors you considered to write about a certain topic. As you stated yourself, we make the most out of the talent God has given us.

You are committed to buckling down the entire day and focus on your work since you realize that you will have fitting rest around evening time and revive. However, assuming that rest is hampered due to any explanation, the following day that follows is additionally a dull one. In any case, to make due in this world you need to work in the day to have a good existence.

You are focused on locking in the whole day and spotlight on your work since you understand that you will have fitting rest around evening time and restore. Nonetheless, accepting that rest is hampered because of any clarification, the next day that follows is furthermore a dull one. Regardless, to make due in this world you need to work in the day to have a decent presence.
