Reflections on Art

We don't always see things the same way... It's not always "black and white" and there are a lot of grey areas in life.

Let's "face" it everyone sees things differently and there is always more than one way to look at something or someone whether it is a piece of art, a problem, a decision, a loved one, a treasured friend or stranger.

If we didn't it would be a boring life and the world that we live in would be a colourless, complacent place.

Do you see what I see?

    The gangs all here ...

                    

     And we are still altogether ... 

                                     

                                       

This is one of the art pieces that we viewed in the Sculpture Garden (New Orleans) titled ...

Stainless Steel. 

 I had always thought of stainless steel in the colour spectrum of black and white or more specifically  greys and silvers ... it wasn't until I got home and was looking at our photographs I saw all the colours just like a kaleidoscope!                                   

A Walk in the Park ... City Park!

#CityPark#SculptureGarden#SpanishMoss

After our first "Beignet" taste test at the Morning Call in City Park, we strolled through the park and visited the Sydney and Walda Besthoff Sculpture Garden.

It wasn't a bright, sunny day and a soft mist hung in the air with possible threats of rain.

The park was full of old oak trees dressed in Spanish moss.

                  

   

 

The Sculpture Garden is an absolutely wonderful part of the New Orleans Museum of Art.

The creative pieces of art are by various artists/ sculpters and funded by donations.

It is a peaceful garden that is home to some beautiful birds and waterfowl with surprises throughout.

We met several characters as we strolled throughout the garden, there was a Cardinal, a drummer who had a canny likeness to Darth Vader, musicians and many more! 

If I lived in New Orleans this would be a favourite place that I would make part of my daily walks, a place to contemplate, reflect and feel close to nature.

                             

                       

    

                                          

 The installations are numbered, titled with credit to the artist and donor. 

There are many more sculptures to see. A must do if you are in New Orleans.

   

          

I "Love" this special place ...

Love was in the air ... at this photo session.
