Art - David Hockney at LA Louver

It’s worth it - so worth the drive to Venice to experience 

LA Louver’s exhibition of 

David Hockney 

Something New in Painting

(and Photography) (and even Printing)…
Continued

The wondrous colour, the aha - look what he’s done - photographs on photographs, pictures of the paintings - the Paintings - 

so alive as if a ball can fall right off the edge 

crayon on canvas - fun! 

charcoal on canvas - a giggle! Once again, it's about space and time and cut outs of people, digital people within the mural.....it's as if we can jump right into the picture of the picture.

 the actual paintings

 the actual paintings
the space, the colour, the tipping the ball and blue onto yellow, the new blue and the new yellow as Louis Kahn would say.

the painting of a mirror - where am I? 

It all made me smile and think about my place in space. Thank you David Hockney

#quirkyLA - Or What I happened upon in Santa Monica - Louise & Aziz Farnam's art world

Original * Unique * Fun 

And I am just driving north on 26th Street when I am Gobsmacked by Louise and Aziz Farnam's creation. It started with one tile…13 years and 20 million tiles later they have covered the entire bungalow. I had to stop. So will you. 

Mario MARINO - Adventures in Eating - Part 2 - LUNCH!

MARINO on Melrose is bang in the center of a renaissance in the south Hollywood - Larchmont - Hancock Park area.

There are 3 major condo projects going up between Highland and Wilcox Avenue. There are  dozens of independent film, sound and digital companies in the neighborhood, and Paramount Studios and Raleigh Studios, and a farmer's market on Sunday.

There is Larchmont Boulevard with it's spas and banks and restaurants and retail stores, and there is the beacon  - THE EL ROYALE - the 1927 Los Angeles Icon by architect William Douglas Lee that lights up each night at dusk in green neon script and can be seen from every direction.

Downtown is booming and east of La Brea has it's gold stars: MARINO - It's a great place to have lunch in a quiet setting with delicious food.

This cod swims from the cold Norwegian waters all the way to MARINO'S L.A. table.  But you knew that, I told you in part 1, now I'm busy eating.

 Linguine Pescatore


Mario sources the line caught cold water fish, the grass fed meat and the fresh organic vegetables. Carmelo at Pane Pane delivers the bread as he has for 29 years, and I let Mario choose the wine because he knows so much about it.

Listed on Eater & Yelp & Zagat rated at 25 food and called "a local treasure."

The down side? Never on Sunday.

#mylosangeles #labreabakery25 NOW OPEN on 6th & La Brea

Class Act.

Nancy Silverton's La Brea Bakery opened today in it's new location on the corner of 6th and La Brea Avenue.

The joint was jumping and so crowded you would think they were giving it away, which they were; giving away samples of pizza, salads, pastries, bread and croissant, along with La Brea Bakery signature Chocolate Chip Cookies, calendars and a ton of good cheer.

It was smiles all around for this Los Angeles icon.

We love you La Brea Bakery.
