St. Petersburg Museum of Fine Art March 5th 2018
When we decided we would go away for a few days over my birthday, I wanted to go somewhere I had not been in Florida and always wanted to see the gulf coast area. I love museums. It's wonderful to see works of art up close. Museums are a really calm and soothing way to spend the day. When I noticed that they were also having this event it was a give in we would go to Saint Pete. Hotel Booked, Tickets bought, Dolphin Cruise booked and Groupons purchased we set off.
I love the worlds of the Star Wars series, I don't know all the little details of the rumors and fan conspiracies but, I do know that I am fascinated with the world George Lucas created with the help of some amazing concept artists. The story lines follow well and even the off shoots are well done. I have no issue with anything in the series, Jar Jar Binx included. My son loved Jar Jar when he was younger and it brought a whole new level of fan to the series.
Over the next few days I will post different segments of the exhibit. I am going to try and give you the best of the photos I took and hope you enjoy them as much here as I did while walking through the exhibit. I found I took so many photos that it was easier to do this over several days then the try and post everything in one.
NOTES:
I am going to start today off with a bunch of the drawn and painted concept/sketch art that was throughout the exhibit. I am going to add as much info and notes as I have but forgive me if you see something that has no info. It maybe be I missed it or there was none. There was great lighting but sadly I did get a bit of it into the shots. Bright white spots are most likely lights. I did try and modify the photos to show the best detail. I will have a link to the original photos added at a future date. Enjoy!

For the first Star Wars films, I wanted the costumes to be SIMPLE but TIMELESS...Costumes modeled on the archetypes that audiences would find understandable and familiar.
On the prequel trilogy, I knew a different approach was needed. We would be...spending time in the galaxy's LAVISH capital and witnessing royalty, OPULENCE, and advanced, albeit sometimes corrupt, civilizations. - George Lucas
