Emily Proud

I came across Emily Proud's work via the wonderful world of Instagram.  I'm really into dark florals at the moment, so her sweet watercolor arrangements against a black background immediately caught my attention.  Sometimes you just need something beautiful to look at.

31 Hours

So, I'm slightly obsessed with all things pro Oakland. Most importantly art, food, community, renewal and revival. When the Oakland Museum Of California announced its' reopening party after renovation, I already wanted to attend. When I found out it would continue for 31 hours straight, was free to the public, and featured all kinds of special events (including a cell phone symphony performance) I was ecstatic. But surprised? No. Really, I wouldn't expect anything less from a cool museum, in a city on the verge, during a time where the possibility ahead is finally palpable.

Here are some images from the all new OMCA.
