Depending on how well you know me, or how long you have followed this silly blog, you may know that I love sumo! Not just like it, love it! So today I found some sumo, sort of, in a blog I follow:

  

José Naranja, Madrid, Spain.
"I like Asia a lot. I also like to take photos and travel.  Especially traveling to Asia. Asia is great.
Before I filled notebooks and now I also make them. I guess I’m a notebookmaker, an amazing dedication which touches many different creative fields.
I post regularly on my Instagram" :account: @jose_naranja

"My new idol is Terunofuji. A Yokozuna. How should I start? Is there any other Yokozuna by here to guide me? I've started to eat mango sticky rice if that helps to increase my weight x2."

* I enjoy his pages, and his skillful journals in general. If this leaves you wanting more sumo...

 the Nagoya basho (15 day tournament) just finished this past week and now I wait until September for the next basho in Tokyo.

While Teronofuji is a Yokozuna and has won many basho, he was beaten this month by Ichinojo.

Wednesday, Valerie and I met at Baja Tacos for lunch, where we ate outside in a lovely breeze, near a blooming crepe myrtle where we talked and ate.

We went to the beautiful Brea Gallery for their current show,  

Pure, Unadulterated Joy

on view from July 23rd - September 16th, 2022

 I only took photos of just a few artists ...

 

 

 

     This work took up a whole wall, I meant to get the artist and size, but ...

 

3D glasses were provided to "take a second look"

which gave this result ...

An artist, Daniel "Attaboy" Seifert, made Life Form Installation V.2  which was acrylic on up-cycled cardboard and watercolor paper, $10,000

 

An artist, Sarah Stieber, did several acrylic pieces on canvas, one was called Rest and Revolution, $10,400

 

But, maybe out favorite was an interactive wall, where we were invited to ...

 

A very long panel of Mylar was provided, along with paint markers.

 

Valerie's advice to the world ... she really is that sweet!

 A really lovely Wednesday afternoon. Thanks Val!
