Art in Seminyak

Mom and I were in Seminyak for the afternoon. Our outing began at the W Hotel where we pondered the art that was hanging, displayed, and painted around the building.

This is a huge mural painted in the lobby of the hotel!

We also visited an uberhip gallery in the W Hotel that represents many Bali artists. Mom and I liked the work of Dodit Artaman who does massive paintings of Barbies with bottles of gin.

The road to the entrance of the W Hotel is enveloped in bamboo.  Mom and I made our way to the sidewalk and began to stroll towards the center of town. Along the way we went into shops and browsed the shelves because we could. Because it was only Mom and me. Tuck and Jones only a distant memory. We found that most of the stores were air-conditioned, so along we went going from one store to the next, trying to escape the heat.

Seminyak is on the coast of Bali, so it is a super surf hangout with the cool, hip, relaxing vibe of an upscale beachy town. As we were nearing the middle of town,  we noticed this small outdoor marketplace. Unlike the souks of Marrakech, everyone there barely batted an eyelash as we walked through the stalls. With a friendly, non-accosting exchange, we bought a few gifts for cousins and then headed to this trendy restaurant for a light snack.

Cool street art on every corner!

Afterwards we met our driver, who took us back along the narrow roads and past the rice fields to our place in Canggu.  As we turned into the driveway, we noticed that even the contraptions made to keep the birds away from the rice had an artistic flair.

    W Hotel. That one is still on my bucket list — the pictures of their pool look neat.

    I’m going to miss your writing and moms pictures — perusing your entries have become my morning routine. 😉
