So Cal artist and friend Bea Savellano e-mailed me. "I wanted to mention to you that I went to the revived museum at Chapman College and it’s fabulous. I know you live in the area. If you haven’t gone yet, it’s great". I responded, "Thanks for the tip! You are so kind and thoughtful. I do live maybe 15 minutes (if all the traffic gets out of my way?) from Chapman. I would love to go see it."

							I went Wednesday and was not disappointed. Visitors will now find a striking new two-building ensemble offering 26 galleries for rotating displays of the more than 5,000 oils, watercolors, drawings, illustrations, pieces of movie production art and more in the growing Hilbert Collection. Founded through the ongoing generosity of art patrons and philanthropists Mark and Janet Hilbert, it holds the distinction of being the only museum in the world committed to tracing the rich, iconic history of the Golden State from the 1900s to the present through works by leading California Scene artists and Hollywood studio artists and animators.

I have more photos, but will save them for the next day or so. The art I chose to photograph appealed to me, there is so much more for you to chose from.

 

Throwback Thursday ...

Lebanon, Indiana 1976

I love this photo of the three year old Wonder- Woman-to -be, and her Great Uncle Skete, on his and Aunt Fern's Farm. Grandaughter, Alana lives on that farm now. I used to go to that farm decades ago, and I'm sure I looked up at Uncle Skete with the same love.

Family.
