Okay, this is my plate!! LOL. I lost control halfway thru the buffet and just started trying everything. I was STARVING so I took a little more than I should have, but I did pretty good. The FOOD WAS AMAZING organic gourmet fantastic fare. AND a woman caught herself on fire while we were there so we had entertainment to boot.... the hysterics of a klutz with the music of Enya in the background.
Good Stuff.

Ahhh, the lovely couple

From our porch we can see the sunrise to the left and at night, the sunset to the right. I am up early ONLY when I have to be at work, and (sigh) on Thursdays I am there early. I was sleepy and puffy drinking my coffee trying to wake up when I saw the sun come up.

It has been raining today at the beach and Buster and I fell asleep listening to the waves outside with a fire going. I got up for a MINUTE and he was, well, put out. I thought it was a cute pic.

Nicknamed Jabba the Hut by my best friend (ahem) Andrea, this is an impromptu version of The Buddha laughing, which is what all Buddhas do. We laugh.

This is a greenware mask that is in the process right now of being fired into bisque. I think I will use stain and not glaze for this one.

Mask #1

This mask was my version of a wind/forest God. The leaves, which are hard to see have been carved and there is a mix of matte and high gloss glaze. I used wax to have the glaze "crawl" around the leaves.

This piece was an assignment from Gerry my instructor to create a mask about the primordial Universe. So this is a face with different animal parts but the parts making a whole; A Hawk's nose, 2 fish swimming for an eye, a cat's eye and ear, a shark's gill, and man's tongue and mouth. Voila, all one in the Universe.

What's this? That is his Mantra. Everything is new to this little guy. From the big fat seals to the ocean to crabs, seaweed, rocks, birds, waves, other pups...it's the bomb.

Buster loves the beach and has really started to dig into the water. By the end of our walks, he is filthy, wet and so so happy!

Is this not a doll baby??? He is giving the model look. Avid sunbather, you can always find The Buster Man wherever the sunny side of the street is, just like his mama.

This is our bedroom, full of light. I am up by seven and the first thing I do is roll over and look at that Pacific. Mr. Buster is co-chillin', free- rent-calm, lovin' the Sun.

LA is full of art and free, passionate thinkers. It's essence is the idea of America.How strange that the rest of the world has an impression that it is a shallow, heartless place! Irony! Art is everywhere here and along side, the artists who shape what we see. This is a mural under a freeway underpass. I definitely related. Viva LA!
