We've got ourselves a cloudy day here on the Tuesday coast.
We got plenty of breakthrough, giving us sunbeams galore, with an orange creamsicle horizon sky--darn keuhl what? And a more conventional cloudscape as our second look.
Yep, it's a cold steel blue past the clouds. Weather reports warns of a cold front coming thru this evening, with winds, low temps, and possibly some rain.
Whatever. They always say "rain" but these days it just means that sidewalks got moistened.
A TUESDAY EXCURSION TO THE "OUT OF BOUNDS GALLERY"
Do you guys remember her? Of course you do! It's the Ballerina of Pepperoni whom I featured on the September 3 blog entry.
Well, I found another commission of this artist whilst I was touring the picturesque neighborhood of North Hollywood this last weekend. We've got her red-headed associate working in an industry closely allied to the pizza delivery industry:

| Artist "Jan," Welcome to Zen, paint on botanical pharmacy. |
I'm so glad we scored a maker's mark on this one. Nice to be able to give credit as credit is due. Cute, eye-catching work Jan!
And here's a context shot:
Since we have the two together, it's a point of realism to note that the ballerina is NOT rendered chesty as her nurse-cousin here. Dancers are known for not having an ounce of fat on them and are characteristically flat as boards, like triathletes. But a nurse? The double entendre in the profession's name itself is well ... amusing.
Are we not surprised that this is apparently painted by a female? Raise your hand if you are. See!
You can find this red-headed girl somewhere on Lankershim. I'll say no more. I was standing in that parking lot taking pictures no longer than 40 seconds when a big, black security guard the size of a linebacker came out to observe me. People who run those kinds of operations SURE are a nervous lot. They really need to use some of their own product.
That's all for today! Have a great Tuesday.
Love,
Pops

Be truthful and frank, but be polite. If you use excessive profanity, I'll assume you have some kind of character flaw like Dr. Wong. Tks!
