at the pearl thief...

if there was ever an art show that was literally mesmerizing, and induced bug-eyed staring, craola created it in this solo show at gallery 1988. the precision is intimidating...these are details of the largest piece he's done to date. below is my favorite portion of the painting.
...and this is the masterpiece. it's gloriously large and detailed, you really have to see it in person to fully appreciate the skill and fine lines.afterward, eileen and i ate at ammo. i had some delicious House Made Tagliatelle with yellow heirloom tomatoes. eileen had been salivating over getting her red heirloom tomato salad with Mt. Vikos feta. my pictures of our food were not clear, but this restaurant was definitely a find.
