The Off Season

Art Day

Footloose and toddler free, Patrick picked me up in a sky blue Porsche for a day of art appreciation in LA.
After a visit with our art school friend, Alex from Taylor De Cordoba gallery on La Cienega, we moved up and down the neighborhood before heading to Bergamot Station in Santa Monica. Acrylic. Oil. Digital. Grain. Video. The good, the bad and the huh? were all covered in one afternoon. Some pieces wowed us off the bat, some grew on us and others opened our eyes but all gave us SOMETHING to talk about- and that felt good. One even inspired us to find the Disney Center at sunset.

First Sunset

Zoe and I explored the famous LA beaches on the first day of the new year.
Growing up on the beaches between Long Beach and Laguna, I never felt the need to sit in 405 traffic, fight for parking and brave the crowds just to go to the beach. Having a free day to wander, we drove down to Venice, Santa Monica, Pac Pali, and discovered that the best beaches around were indeed the onces in our own backyard. So we clicked our heels three times, and came home. Waiting for us was a technicolor sunset, a peaceful walk with a good friend, and pockets full of sand.
