More around town…I have lived here most of my life, and I still discover new places! like the new art supply store,I had noticed the other day and Mari ‘gps’ed it for me . as I am paying I look up and see a whole mezzanine area up above. Its filled with “handmade papers” the woman tells me. OH heaven on earth.

that night we walk over to hear the live jazz in conjunction with the Ken Price exhibit. wonderful Chet Baker type music, the warm night, fab tacos and the sunsets past the light display.

Another day I accompany Mari to drop off her photos at Studio 50 gallery in Highland Park, incredible place. I see two small Frank Romeros on the wall and then a dynamite little oil by Art Carillo which I buy. (see next blog on my inspiration to collect art, as well as make it.)
