October 9, 2024 - Wednesday - Today we drove to the coast to visit the Laguna Art Museum and see their latest exhibit called "Jay DeFeo: Trees."  The museum literature states: "Fresh from more than a year spent in Europe and North Africa, artist Jay DeFeo (1929-1989) returned home to Northern California in 1953.  In her Berkeley studio DeFeo looked to nature as inspiration, employing the artistic language she developed while in Florence to fuse modes of representation with approaches to abstraction in a group of drawings that make up Jay DeFeo: Trees.  Trees also features a selection of DeFeo’s photographs of trees captured in the Bay Area during the early 1970s when she began focusing on black-and-white photography."

We came away from the exhibit liking her photographs more than her paintings.  However the painting below is wonderful.

After the museum we stopped for lunch at the Zinc Cafe in downtown Laguna Beach.

Judy had their "Caprese" sandwich with tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, basil, extra virgin olive oil, aged balsamic, and pesto on a toasted baguette.  Her side of chili was delicious!

I had their "Stuffed Pepper" with a bell pepper, brown rice, mushrooms, marinara, creamed swiss chard and a green salad.

It  was a nice day, foggy at first, but a clear blue sky by the time for us to leave.
