Above: Beautiful handwriting, packaging and imagery by J. Anzalone of Janis and Milo. Please take a look at her wonderful work.

My week has been busy with work, colds, house guests, and immanent art openings. How are you?

questionable taste ?

As I get older, I find myself not really caring about what others may think of what I'm wearing. I dress for my own amusement. Like buying and wearing this vintage rhinestone encrusted lion door-knocker necklace (I am a Leo, so this appealed to me- from Lady). It made me laugh!
I used to wear a lot of black. In my opinion, Los Angeles is too hot most of the time to wear a lot of black. Now I love to wear color, and bold patterns (as seen here and here) and I love wearing them all together at once and ignoring whether things clash. Poor taste? Maybe- but I am having a good time.

Oh, I almost forgot: Mina Perhonen and Sally Scott have lovely spring updates.

Tomory's show opens on Valentine's Day. This is a sneak peek. All photographs are details of larger paintings.

We have had a lot of rain here in So. Cal the last couple of days. The rain makes for beautiful skies with huge clouds. It also apparently drowned this giant spider/ small tarantula in our back yard. I have found these before near our house. Look at it's hairy appendages! UPDATE: The spider is the California Trap-Door Spider, Bothriocyrtum californicum. I just had to find out.

Listening to KCRW in the car today (I'm a member!) and heard Pepi Ginsberg for the first time. I especially like her song "The Contortionist."

We have so many little tomato plants sprouting in our house right now...
