The MOCA in LA...

We breakfasted at the Coffee Bean - a coffee shop on the corner of Beverly Glen and Santa Monica Blvd., got caught up on email and some small work over coffee and a pastry, found out that the painter I so much wanted to see at the ACE Gallery, David Amico, was not in fact showing there, and made a new plan to go to the MOCA downtown.

As it happened, they were installing a new show, so they only had a couple of rooms of art to view. Not bad, though. They had these fabulous sculptures and drawings by LA artist Matthew Monahan. His sculptures are conglomerations of all sorts of materials, including sheetrock and wax, but we really enjoyed the heads he so beautifully drew and then folded into head shapes, sort of like origami -- very beautifully done!

We passed by the gorgeous Disney Concert Hall on our way back, but had no time to go inside.






Terry and I spent the afternoon chatting with his father and Madelaine again, then Madelaine’s nephew, Doug, and his sweetheart came over, and we headed out for another fabulous Italian dinner at Il Moro.
