Visit to the LACMA

Bevin and I visited L.A. this past weekend so that she could meet and interview some people involved with the International Latino Theatre Festival of L.A. We spent an hour or so at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and here I am in front of one of the many amazing paintings - Portrait of John Viscount Garlies, later 7th Earl of Galloway, as Master of Garlies by Anton Raphael Mengs, 1758.

Wow, this museum's collection from the Baroque period blows away that of the Art Institute of Chicago's! I was very impressed. I just wish we had taken more photos. Their website has images of their permanent collection: http://collectionsonline.lacma.org/mwebcgi/mweb.exe?request=browpage;dept=europ
