Yesterday my friends and I took a trip up north. Destination, Bakersfield. Participants, Blogger Amanda Erlanson, Jack Muramatsu and Artist, Andrew Hem. It's about a 2 hour drive from Los Angeles. An IPhone with music and good conversations are drastically needed for such an occasion. While fighting heavy winds on the 99 fwy you have a panoramic view of landscapes with sporadic evidence of a California wildflower season ending. Our first stop... food!
After a drive like this we were all starving for lunch. This is Arizona Cafe. Yelp said it was 5 stars. We thought otherwise.
What I love best about these towns are the abandoned buildings. One local told me that this used to be a restaurant. It burned down.
Our main goal. It's Artist, Aron Wiesenfeld's first Museum Exhibition and it's a retrospective. Also, Aron is just 37 yrs old. The collection of artwork had been selected from his west coast collectors. They include 10 paintings, 6 drawings and 1 etching. Here are a few of my favorites...
If you are a fan of Aron's work, you should definitely drop by this show. It can be difficult to gather art for a retrospective. And since these are all from private collections, who knows if they will be displayed in public again. So check it out while you can!
