Di Rosa

Wednesday, Cousin Sue and I went to the Di Rosa Preserve, where two of David Best's art cars are displayed. There are also many other art works exclusively by Northern California artists, including one of my favorites, Roy DeForest. Here, Sue poses by "Mother Tina's Car". These cars are street legal and drivable.


This hanging Volkswagon is one of the few art piece's by Rene di Rosa, who was primarily a collector. He died eleven days ago.

Look closely at this picture, one of Sue's favorites. The painting is by Napa artist Wesley Poole, who was a font designer, wine label designer, and painted the mural that was on Val's Liquor for so long in Napa. He just recently passed away.

The preserve has a lake with a palm tree island.

This is "Rhino Car". You'll see why in a few seconds.

Someone wishing he could get behind the wheel of this beast.

Someone almost succeeding.

Yes, it really is a Rhino Car. From here it was off to Artesa Winery where my neighbor Gary took care of us. Well, today the vacation is over. I'm back at work, Sue flew home, and house projects are pestering me.
