Back from the Beach with Fresh Imagery

Took a week to go to Laguna Beach, and spent the time with sensors on full alert. A former Californian, I'd never been to L.B. before. It sort of reminded me of the Sixties, only lots more expensive! Was everyone so beautiful then? Took lots of pictures: of ambience, light effects, reflections, buildings under construction, plants, people, and events. Remembered to draw: in the room, at the beach, anywhere I could. I drew in public too: what challenge number is that? There was time of course to play in the surf, too! It's amazing how a change of place shakes up your way of seeing. For me, it was like suddenly rediscovering color, and I want to surf that wave of energy for as long as it lasts.
