Her Palette is the Garden

Several years ago, my sister Anita painted some terra cotta pots and mounted them on a wooden lattice piece. It makes a great color addition to my little garden. I have had this a few years and there has been no fading to the pots. Anita is a garden artist. She is not afraid to create ideas for the garden.

What Side Of The Fence Are You On?

I am on the side of the fence of I LIKE IT. The good stuff was worth viewing and I must admit I LOVED PHOTOGRAPHING IT. Art in the Streets ran until August 8  2011. This was the first major US Museum survey of graffiti and street art. The show included street art from the 1970s to today including NY, LA, SF, LONDON, and SAO PAULO.  I was happy the MOCA (Museum of Contemporary Art) made such a gutsy move to show this art. Thank-you MOCA. This is where I went on my 23rd wedding anniversary. Have you ever seen the stalls looking so awesome?

To Be Lucky

This is Lucky my sister Anita's fox terrier. He continues to plop his butt into his nephew Toby's toy area. You gotta love animals. They have ways to reach humans beyond our wildest imaginations. I have seen miracles with animals brought into the care facility where I work. If animals have empathy, then they have the ability to change our DNA structure. To be Lucky is truly a blessing.

Shoes Shoes Shoes

              
Shoes by J. W. Andersen, Mui Mui, and Loeffler Randall, the 'anita' shoe. I ended up with the Loeffler Randall black flat which by the way looks great with jeans and the best thing about them is I got 75% off at Barneys. Scoring on sale shoes. A great day on Central Coast.



                                 

Slide Film

I found some old slides and had Specialty Color Services make 4 x 6 prints of them.  I was delighted to see the results. There is something clear and crisp about shooting slides. These days I am happy shooting print film.  Print film has improved.  Yes, dinosaurs are still alive.
