We finished a piece of furniture

Caravaggio and Drawing Surrealism at LACMA

We decided to spend the day at LACMA visiting the Caravaggio and Drawing Surrealism shows. Both shows were very interesting, and I took some photos of some of the works (if there wasn’t a no-photo icon, you could snap a pic). Afterwards we went to Ancient Adornments, a shop that only does piercing – Aviva […]
