My grandfather was a grocer and today is his birthday, so these great polaroids by Nancy L. Stockdale
seem very apt.

Summer

David Hockney's years living in Los Angeles clearly influenced his work. He began using acrylic paint and produced some wonderful paintings that really evoke summer.

I admire Hockney's willingness to experiment with a wide range of mediums and techniques,
and of course I've always loved his personal style.

"Style is something you can use, and you can be like a magpie, just taking what you want. The idea of the rigid style seemed to me then something you needn't concern yourself with, it would trap you." - David Hockney
