A Week in LA



LA is a sprawling city.  It is said you can find about anything here.  

I am not sure about that but this week I found

fresh fruit juices at the farmers' market,





a chandelier hanging from a tree while people

breakfast, listen to live music or shop for fresh

fruits and vegetables,






a home grown musician, Paul Chesne of the Paul Chesne Band 

playing in the outdoor patio of Primitivo on the 

hip street, Abbott Kinney,





an exhibit, In Wonderland, featuring surrealist women artists,


Frida Kahlo 1919-1954


one of which is Frida Kahlo.


quick sketch in my journal





After the exhibit I dug out this book




and was reminded of the Frida's vibrant works.





I thought you might be interested 





in seeing 




a few of her pages





and become inspired yourself





 to play in your journal.


I have linked this post to Rebecca Brook's  Postcards from Paradise.  

I hope you get a chance to visit her.
