Recently I visited Los Angeles’ Frederick R. Weisman Art Foundation. This “museum” houses over 400 works, all from the late Mr. Weisman’s personal art collection. Located in a former private residence on an exquisitely ordinary street, the…
D-Squared T-Squared – Week 42
As Mister’s been neck-deep in a work project that’s keeping him at the office all the flippin’ time, I’ve been left to my own devices of late. Sure – that means all the “Call the Midwife” I can…
D-Squared T-Squared – Week 41
Life! What a blast! I’ve been so engaged with living and all that entails – I nearly forgot my weekly D2T2 projects. (Mister’s working like a crazed monkey, so he’s probably forgotten, too.) Actually, nearly doesn’t quite…

St. Lucy II
This little gal is a companion piece to St. Lucy, which is gi-normous. I wanted something to go with the big girl, so she wouldn’t feel so lonely. Mister had taken some side shots of the statue…
