On two trips to the Getty Center in Los Angeles last week, I noticed that many paintings there contain animals near the bottom of the composition who serve to redirect the viewer’s eye back up to the focal point. Many of these animals are dogs, but there are also bunnies, pigs, birds, frogs, oxen, demons, lions, dragons, and even guinea pigs. Check out the details in my Flickr photostream: Animals Look up to Old Masters.

Yesterday, my husband and I were on our last day of vacation in Los Angeles. We were wandering around on Melrose Avenue, and we checked out a gallery called G1988. They had a fascinating show based on TV icons. We worked our way down the right wall, up the left and then to the center divider. Well, whose art did I spy there, but my friend Ben Walker, paying homage to Bonanza! That was quite a coincidence, since I did not know he was showing there. Good job, Ben!
