For Real?

Last week, while my guests were shopping in Laguna Beach, I excused myself and went to the Laguna Art Museum.

It had been a while since I was there and the galleries looked completely different. Last time there were some modern art exhibits on show but most of the wall space was taken up with early California Impressionism works with a contemporary watercolour artist showing on the upper level.

This time it was largely modern art with a serious dose of whimsey.

My favourite show was called 'Faux Real' in which things are not always what they seem to be.


These vases were pictures of vases.

Usually photography is not allowed in museums in order to protect the copyright of the artists or the people/institutions who own the art. For this exhibition there was a sign saying that photography was not only allowed but even encouraged.


All the items on this table were made of fabric.


Cloth art supplies.


This was a very large cupcake that you could climb into through a door (seen on the right).
