A Day at the Museum

 

I enjoyed spending the day at one of our nearby museums of contemporary art. We took a few photos as we speculated and pondered each piece of artwork.

 

I liked how the two red and black pieces below matched the colors pallet of my sheath dress and necklace.

Lapis Lazuli

The beautiful ultramarine color of Lapis Lazuli has been used in artwork throughout the ages and has been the inspiration point for many painters. A combination of it's extremely rich and vibrant color as well as the rarity of the precious stone from which it is extracted from only add to the admiration and beauty of the amazing artworks it has adorned. I love this dress because it almost captures the vibrant cobalt blue tone of Lapis Lazuli.
