Here is a photo of Hannah standing somewhere in Malaysia, where she was last week. It was part of her job, as a guidance counselor. I think that would be her description.
Our small family, of one older man (me), two women (Dante and Hannah), and a young man (Amedeo), have been in Los Angeles for over thirty years.
We've each followed our individual paths, and the city hasn't let us down. I've flourished (more or less) as a full-time artist. I couldn't have done it anywhere but here. Definitely not in a smaller setting. A giraffe can't live on a backyard patio.
I'm working on my newest painting. A few days ago I bought from a business in East LA, a rusty old 55 gallon oil drum, cut it up, and am currently turning it into an interesting mixed-media art piece. I'll post a few photos this weekend.
