The Great Thinkers Of Venice/Luminaries Of Pantheism

Update! This mural by Levi Ponce is almost done and it's called "Luminaries Of Pantheism" ......

On my way to the beach this long and pristine weekend, I noticed there is a new mural going up on the corner of South Venice and Speedway.

It's big and impressive and awesome. The artists weren't there when I was to ask them about it all, but it's a most welcome new and colorful addition to the neighborhood, for sure.

I was happy to see my man, Einstein, right up at the top ... and when I think of Einstein, I always think of his quote, "Remember your humanity and forget the rest." Bottom line. And now we have a giant new daily reminder. Excellent.

A Sea House In Venice

I was delighted to discover a new paint job on a house on North Venice Boulevard on my morning stroll. It made me feel like I was under water, and the fact that it had just finished raining only intensified that sensation.

I love it when people make beautiful and fun use of their spaces. It gives color and fun to a town that was meant to be about just that ... color, fun, beauty ... ART. This house also features owls all over it, like sea owls, giving it a wise edge above. Almost like a wink, that they get it too.

Others shouldn't be afraid to follow suit. Be creative. Express what you love. Make your house a landmark. Give strangers a smile. Make a day.

Thanks to these neighbors, for making mine.
