My friend Diane and I have recently returned from a trip to LA. We went to get a feel for the art scene - I'm hoping that there's a place for my work down there somewhere. We checked out galleries in Chinatown, West Hollywood, Wilshire Blvd., Bergamot Sation in Santa Monica, and Culver City. It was hard work but a lot of fun - and because we stayed at the fabulous Avalon Hotel in Beverley Hills we felt wonderfully pampered at the end of each day.
