It’s been way too long since I visited the Norton Simon Museum in Pasadena. I took myself out there today to see Proof: The Rise of Printmaking in Southern California. It was excellent! After viewing the prints, I spent a peaceful hour in the gardens, where I had a bizarre but interesting conversation with a man about this and this. He didn’t want me to go, but I wiggled out of his virtual grasp.

The whole experience made me smile and inspired me to paint again. It’s been way too long for that, too.
