Makin' Art - Not War !
While waiting to take off to Disneyland yesterday I created the above page in my journal. Again, using acrylic paints and Caran d'Ache water-soluble wax pastels.*****
And then...a day at Disneyland... I took over 100 photographs...but out of kindness to my readers I will only post four ;-)
Above..I LOVE this striking image, part of a mural in Disney's California Adventure.
Above: The park is decorated for Halloween...a giant Mickey pumpkin on Main Street, ....SCARY!! LOL!!
Above: Ariel, The Little Mermaid against the night sky in the Parade of Dreams.
Above: Detail of the hookah-smoking Caterpillar from Alice In Wonderland in the Parade Of Dreams.

Love the photo of the mural. I've never been to California Adventure. Actually I haven't been to Disneyland since I was 16.

Don't know if I can ever step foot in Disneyland again. A college course in which the place was discussed left permanent scars.

Dagny, I've heard some behind-the-scenes stuff through the years as well....much of it negative....but still...it is a great escape for me and the girls and we've met some wonderful 'cast members' who work there.

Ahh. The stuff in the class was not so much about the behind the scenes stuff as it was about the design of the park. All I can hope is that good ole Walt is rolling in his cryogenic vault over the more recent Disney animated movies.

Love the Disney shots! You guys make me jealous being able to go whenever! :) I haven't been since about 12 or 13 years ago!
I LOVE the giant Mickey pumpkin best I think! Mike would prefer the hookah caterpillar I can guarantee! ;)
