Quincy- I am 53,and FINALLY in college,though Music is my greatest love. In my art class,we had to find a pic of a house in a magazine,and paint it,making it abstract. Hours into it, I read it is YOUR house in LA. What a fabulous paradise it appears to be. I’m in KC, but if I’m EVER in LA,any chance you give tours? If its half as beautiful inside as it is out, I LOVE it!
