Who Let the Cats Out? - Los Angeles Travel Photographer

There isn't much talk about the French painter Jacques Majorelle who put 40 years into creating Jardin Majorelle in Marrakesh, Morocco.  There has been a lot of talk about how Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergé purchased the garden in 1980.  Probably for that reason, the garden is one of the most visited sites in Morocco.  And for that reason alone, we weren't going to visit the site.  One, I never did and was not interested in owning a YSL item (no offense to YSL).  Two, a garden is not meant to be enjoyed with so many others that are rubbing shoulders with you on a constant basis.

Well, that changed when we realized that the painter's studio is now a museum dedicated to Berber culture (note: Berber, a.k.a., Amazigh.  More on them later).

Boy, speaking of being mentally under-prepared!  Despite the scorching sun, lines for tickets were so long that it's as if fans of YSL were waiting outside one of its flagship stores for its new season debut.  Following a successful acquisition of the tickets to entrance, it's an upstream battle to fight our way through the crowd, endure the kids' screaming at the group of fish, and the pond that they are in, and get out of way of the selfie aficionado and selfie sticks.  

Finally, the museum was in-sight, along with its ever-so-inspiring colors, textures and shapes.  Oh, wait, all that inspiration has to wait.  It has to wait for more selfies and waves of them.  For an "abstract fine art" that I made above, I assure you, it was not an easy task.  

Seriously, who let the cats out?

I'm on a Roll with These Lotus Flowers - Los Angeles Fine Art Photographer

Boy, am I on a roll or not?  It's the third image that I've processed of these lotus flowers (to see the other two, please click here and here).  Needless to say, they are my favorite as we speak.  And I have to thank Rita for letting me in her beautiful garden to capture the short-lived elegance!

What do you think of them?  Have you fallen in love with these delicate angels yet?

This image would have been a beautiful addition to your living room as a frame-less canvas gallery wrap as well.  Well, why not create a wall art combination using more than one image?

You Know I can't Get Enough of Lotus Flowers - Los Angeles Fine Art Photographer

The best way to cool off in a dog day of summer, for me, is to process the beautiful images of lotus flowers.  So, it's only natural that I made this image shortly after the one I shared the other day.   Plus, wouldn't it be nice to cool off under the shade like the one provided by this large lotus leaf?

This image would have been a beautiful addition to your living room as a frameless canvas gallery wrap panel as well. For additional fine art photography samples, please visit here. To explore home decoration ideas with my photography, please contact me by clicking here.

I'd love that you share your thoughts as well. :-)
