Venice: Where Art is a Lifestyle

Yup, another tour!
This time my friend Cari (of Cari’s Illness fame) and I went on the Venice Art Walk yesterday.

This first home we visited was owned by Frederick Fulmer,
an artist who lives in both Joshua Tree and Venice.

This was some type of giant honeysuckle in his backyard. We probably lingered too long at Frederick’s home and garden. I think we only saw about seven of the 50 or so homes and galleries on the tour.

I have to admit that I didn’t pay that much attention to the actual “art” featured in the homes, or the artists. I was too distracted by their homes and gardens–how they lived. This is another home, and it was packed with great sculpture, both inside and out.


This was in the backyard. A place to hang out. That’s all. And it was great!

Onto another residence. This one was designed by one of the “it” architects of modern design right now, according to Cari. Everything was amazing, including this tepee, swing-set play yard in the front yard.

I wonder if their kids use it as much as the visiting children here. My kids never seemed to use anything we built for them like this. They preferred to play in the muddy vacant lots next to our house.
