CMSA: notes from los angeles. On the morning walk; my neighborhood is so beautiful...has this great old dusty early 20th century vibe...full of california bungalows and "mature landscaping" (means flowering bushes have grown to the size of trees here)literally having been allowed to grow almost 100 years...lots of older residents and multiple generation families, i won't mention what neighborhood i'm in though, as we are clearly not gentrified yet and the rent here is still reasonable (for la).. and nothing beats socal morning light,( well except maybe socal late afternoon light)..Don Don McKinney; photo of colored flags reminded me of your "fragment" series paintings. The one on the right shows that "mature landscaping" i was talking about...
