#mydowntonabbey - Favorite images of Downton Abbey previous seasons - I WANT my Downton Abbey - Awaiting Season 4

What to do when awaiting season 4 of Downton?

Look at the pictures of course - the house, the interiors, those leather walls, the lamps, the floral tributes, the carpets - OH MY GOD - the dresses, the jewelry, the lamps - OMG - the story - let go, let go and let Downton Abbey whisk me away into a fantasy world that has THE most beautiful interiors a girl could ask for.

Blood red silk covering the walls of Sir Richard Carlisle's bedroom. Remember him? Lady Mary came close to marrying that newspaperman until first Matthew said "you DON'T have to," then Papa Robert, aka the Earl of Grantham said "break with Carlisle, bring us back an American cowboy to shake us up a bit."

The entire package of Downton Abbey, including the music written for the show, is a dream cake relaxed colour window into a world that is fascination complete.

Season 4 here we come.

MY #SOCALART - Richard Diebenkorn at Palm Springs Art Museum

Right. 

This is all the photography one is allowed to capture, but I link you to the Palm Springs Art Museum web page below to explore for yourself the current exhibition of 
RICHARD DIEBENKORN: THE BERKELEY YEARS,  1953-1966. 

This show is so well curated I found myself on a voyage, going back and forth between rooms as if I were on a cloud pushed by the wind through abstract landscapes which suddenly become representational, then abstract once again. 

It matters not which way you enter, your companions will be the influence from Mark Rothko, Clyfford Still, Henri Matisse and of course line, color, form, and Big Canvas.  Green grass, blue sky, realities of women - breathtaking. 

Take the drive out, from now until February 16, 2014.
