EVEN IF YOU DON’T LIVE IN SAN MARINO….
….you’ll love reading the San Marino Patch. The ‘Patch’ covers all the goings on in San Marino and also features work of writer Grace Farag, who has a column every week featuring events and exhibits at The Huntington Botanical Gardens. Grace phoned me a couple of weeks ago saying that she wanted to do an article about the Brush Painting classes I’ve taught for so many years at the Huntington. We had such a delightful conversation that I invited her to my studio and she was able to visit yesterday when, not surprisingly, we had the best time!
If you have a company or an idea that you want fleshed out, Grace is definitely your person….she is such a talented writer who can make ANY subject beyond interesting….even captivating.
You can contact Grace at grace.farag@gmail.com

FRANK ROMERO, ARTIST EXTRAORDINAIRE…..
…..has set aside 20 silkscreen pieces of his latest work ‘CRUISING WHITTIER BOULEVARD’ pre-publication (the release date is in December.) The original oil painting of this delightful work (seen below) was commissioned by AltaMed Health Services for their corporate offices and the silkscreen of the image was produced by master printer Richard Duardo. The limited edition of 100 was hand printed with the 20 colors separated by Frank.
Frank is a dedicated member of the Los Angeles arts community and a founding member of the influential Chicano art collective, ‘LOS FOUR’. With numerous murals throughout the city, this amazing artist has shown extensively in the States, Europe and Japan as well as being featured at the National Museum of Art in Washington and our own LACMA!
Charles and I are so thrilled to own this original Romero oil.
Looking at artwork
Art everywhere!
Sharon teaches classes on ‘The Art of the Tart’ based on her handmade books of art and recipes. What fun to experience life in Provence and learn to cook like a French home cook.
I plan on taking the class here when they return in six months! Just working at this fantastic stove will transport me to France!
Meet ‘Flocon’ (French for Snowflake) who has his own passport.

BACK at the HUNTINGTON BOTANICAL GARDENS…..
…..after three very long months that seemed like a year! The Brush painting class is now in the TEACHING GREENHOUSE as the Ikebana House is being restored. This is all in preparation for the Japanese Garden’s 100th anniversary. There will also be a restoration of the pond system, work done on pathways and the installation of a tea house and garden up by the scree slope. Very exciting!
Then after class, it was delightful serendipity to see Kathabela Wilson, poet, artist, jewelry designer extraordinaire and one of the sweetest persons to ever grace our beautiful blue planet. Kathabela with her husband Richard,a math professor at Caltech, have the most amazing special poetry events. So numerous and interesting, I really think you’ll do yourself a great favor by asking to be on their mailing list. The current one has so much good stuff on it that it would take till forever to list it all. One such event is the Poets on Site, The Poetry Tour of the 40th anniversary exhibit, Pacific Asia Museum, Pasadena, CA. You will be amazed at how many wonderful cultural events are going on right in our midst! Richard is also a brilliant flautist and gives concerts hither and yon. His website is packed full of interesting info.
Sweet Susan Rogers with delightful Kathabela on the right in her ever present charming flowered hat.
