One last breakfast in San Diego, then we headed back to LA. We moved our quarters to the Holiday Inn Express on Olympic Blvd., a far nicer and more regular place than the Stars Inn, though twice as expensive!

After checking in, Terry and I had a few hours for some art, so we headed over to the Hammer Museum to see Eden’s Edge, a show of 15 LA Artists. It was very interesting; all the artists are far more capable of extreme obsession than am I. I liked some of the work; though not all.

On our way out, we almost missed a small show by emerging Chinese painter Song Kun, who filled a small gallery with 97 daily paintings of her life…fabulous! Her work ranges from part drawn, part painted canvases to fully realized and very well-done representational works to a number of blank canvases. At first, I took one quick pass through the gallery, intending that to be it; then went back and looked at each painting more closely, then went back again, by this time fully drawn into her mesmerizing paintings.

This was my favorite art of all that I’ve seen on this coastal trip!

We had dinner again with Terry’s father and Madelaine; it was kind of sad to leave them, though; they are getting pretty frail, and I think they are afraid we may not see them alive again. I feel fairly sure we will, but of course, they are 88 years old…
