Last week we flew down to LA to see the Richard Diebenkorn exhibit at the Orange County Museum. It was 80 works of The Ocean Park Series. Awe inspiring, and painful. The cigar box lid paintings were beautiful. The prints and gouache works on paper were wonderful. And the large canvas collection were truly a sit down moment. Nice gallery, not crowded. These paintings felt like looking at the process and path of secrets. So many layers, so much process. Very moving and spectacular.

That was interesting.
