Cutting, pasting and painting are the key components that make up the artistic process for Jennifer Davis who is obsessed with found images. Combining acrylic and graphite with offerings from magazines and newspapers is something Davis does on a daily basis, allowing her art to act as a journal or release for her creativity. The narratives develop through the process and the pieces emerge once Davis sits down with her canvas, paints and precious bits of paper.

As I mentioned in a previous post about our day trip to Costa del Sol, a beautiful beach in El Salvador, here are some of the polaroids I took that day.
As much of a great time we had these last 3 weeks in El Salvador, it feels good to be back in Los Angeles and to our home in Santa Monica. Driving around town today made me realize that I missed my neighborhood and how much I love living here. Coming back to high-speed internet is especially wonderful…wow what a huge difference this is! Lars and I celebrated our return by dining at our favorite local sushi spot, Ninjin. BEST FREAKIN SUSHI in town!!!
Our last day in El Salvdor, bags are packed and we are leaving in a couple hours to the airport. These last three weeks were everything I expected and more. I’m really happy that my father and I have become so close and this was a great opportunity for my husband and him to bond. I may actually be coming back here in a couple of months…we shall see.
Oh, I had a pedicure today and it was the strangest pedicure I’ve ever had in my life. My father gets his feet done there and likes it. But, it was completely different than any pedicure performed in the US. They were using tools and machinery that looked like torture devices and instead of using acetone to remove my nail polish, they used some buffing machine. So weird. Fortunately the place was sanitary, but I definitely would not come back nor recommend this to anyone. Oh..and they don’t use nail polish.
I took a bunch of photos from our trip that I will upload when I’m back in LA. Here are a few from the farmer’s market.
