I'd spent several hours yesterday

Experimenting with

Texture variations

For my recent fractals

And had hit on one motif

That I especially liked

Featuring an array of

Touching concentric rings

With small squares in the

Spaces between them

I picked up Paula

So we could catch a matinee

And happened to notice

A paper towel

On her living room table

With an astonishing motif

She told me she had left it there

After eating earlier

But didn’t ever do that

And didn’t know why she had

Here's one of the images I had done before leaving for Paula's:

And here's a scan of the paper towel:

I had written this document

Up to this point as of last night

Complete with its title

Tonight I attended the monthly "Gathering"

At the San Diego Art Institute,

Where artists show their work

And receive comments

One painting had three areas,

A nude woman,

Half of a guitar body,

And a series of concentric rings,

The latter of which

The artist called a "bullseye"

Later in the event,

Referring to something else,

Jim Respess also

Used the term "bullseye"

Another curious thread

Bridges these events

And those chronicled in

Statute of Limitations

An unfamiliar woman

Sat down next to me

At this Gathering

And as the bullseye was hit

I mentioned to her

How odd this all was

We became friends that night

And got together again

Three evenings later

Pamela's an artist and art teacher

And mentioned that she's in

The San Dieguito Art Guild

They have a co-op gallery

Featuring the various members' work

I asked her where it is

And the answer raised my eyebrow:

The Pannikin in Leucadia
