I love the strong and simple shapes of this tower.

Theodore (Ted) Gall is an Ojai-based sculptor whose work is mostly surreal. I’ve visited his studio, and it’s quite an overwhelming experience to walk amongst the complex works of art. This horse, by contrast, is very simple and graphic, constructed from steel plates.

Bodie and I went for a wander around the local cemetery. One of the things I find fascinating is the number of headstones (or headplanks, in this case) with minimal information on them. I’ve sketched a few of them before. At least Richard Cregg’s has a time frame on it. Another very old one just says “Carne. Daughter of John.”

Ventura County has nearly 40 museums; maybe I’ll get around to visiting (and sketching at) all of them. The closest one is right here in town, and it’s quite charming, with a mixture of history and contemporary art.
Papa Lennon’s
We don’t eat out often, but this is a pizzeria worth returning to. The pink and turquoise store across the road provides quite a colour contrast to the shaded courtyard.
