A few years back I decided that I was incapable of having any plant what so ever. I forget to water them and most of the time they end up dwindling down to a few pathetic leaves. The problem with my inability to sustain the life of a plant is that I love them and love looking at them, I also use flowers and plants as a reference in my paintings.

With that said, I decided to give myself a second chance since I have kept my Pothos alive and (mostly)flourishing for 9 months. So today I took a little trip to Blue Hills Nursery and bought myself 4 baby succulents. Since they are one of the most durable plants I figured I couldn't go wrong.

Mind you that as I was leaving the woman checking me out mentioned that I should wait for the soil to be completely dry before watering and if I watered them too much I could drowned them (the quickest way to kill the one of most durable plants around). Hopefully this doesn't end up being the case. Normally, I forget to water so these cute baby succulents should be a perfect fit.

I vistied LACMA this week and forgot how amazing the Eli Broad collection is. A new addition to the museum, a lot of this collection has not been seen by many anyone outside of an education.

There are so many artists that have had a direct effect on what we see today in all that is creative.
Much to my surprise on the bottom floor of the new Broad building were two monumental sculptures by Richard Serra.
Even though photography isn't allowed I had to indulge so I could share.
