day 8, 30 paintings in 30 days challenge
wehre am i ??
today i tried a little texture, collage and gold paint
on a square canvas.
i visited the pompeii exhibit at the california science center
yesterday. these faces on this theatrical mural relief
fascinated me. i like the three-d quality and wondered about
the story that goes along with these faces.
afterwards we went to an iconic greek deli, papa cristos
http://papacristos.com. the fragrances alone when you first step in
the door will send you into another time, another land. there is the
fresh baking bread, the melding of warmed cheeses, meats, garlic,
pita and baked goods...well, if you weren't hungry when you walked
in, you would not be able to resist ordering too much.
papa cristo himself took our order

in the room next to the prepared food is the deli
with all sorts of goodies
jars of honey with nuts
jordan almonds and other goodies
my friend, lorraine who grew up in south africa was sent right back
to her childhood remembering foods her grandmother prepared that
she hasn't had in years. we ate way too much. it was a perfect ending
to an outing and made-up for the fire alarm (turned out to be false )
that sent us scattering out of the imax theater.
this morning on my walk in redondo beach, no blue skies to be seen.
