A Day at The Los Angeles County Museum of Art
My dear college friend Daniella was in town with her partner Kim and we were able to meet up at LACMA for a fun day of catch up and art.
My cousin Nancy was able to join in too.
Most important to Daniella was viewing the Agnes Martin (1912-2004) Retrospective. A really wonderful and inspiring show beginning with early biomorphic works then intricate grids to her later famous striped very beautiful and subtle canvasses.
The orangy cousins (we did not plan our matching outfits) standing in front of a biomorphic early painting of Agnes Martin.
They say it's the "new" black if you know what I mean. We like a touch of blue too!
We were in awe of these intricate grids...
Time for the Orangy cousins to head to dinner. We met up with my sister and friend Mayo for dinner at Casablanca but that story has already been written. See the link below for our further adventures that night.
My cousin Nancy was able to join in too.

I think her stripes are so beautiful.
My dear Daniella I'm so happy we were able to make this reunion at LACMA happen. Great to see you and Kim and look forward to seeing you again. You are "fabulous Dahlink"!
After saying goodbye to Daniella and Kim, Nancy and I took in the Robert Mapplethorpe photography exhibit and a wonderful men's fashion exhibit called, "Reigning Men".
Reigning Men: Fashion in Menswear, 1715–2015 explores the
history of men’s fashionable dress from the eighteenth century to the
present and re-examines the all-too-frequent equation of “fashion” with
“femininity.” It was so much fun!

Athena and Mat's Last Day in Long Beach
It's been a busy month with the kids flying in and out of town during their vacation this past month. They returned from their European visit sunday night and will leave tonight to fly back home to Australia. When we asked them what they'd like to do today they said "go to the beach and eat mexican food." That was easy. This is how we spent the day:
Nice to have had these two home. We look forward to our next reunion whenever that will be. Safe travels Athena and Mat.
