This morning I was talking with my friend, Gene Faucher, a long time graphic designer and painter, and I remembered an interesting design I had seen across the street from Coffee Roasting. A store window had been hit with a bullet, but as it was safety glass, it didn’t shatter, it broke into tiny cells that were basically rectangular. The rectangles sprayed out in a very complex but attractive arches. Gene took a picture of the busted window with his really nice camera and then I took a picture with the lousy camera in my phone (the one just below). We went on chatting and turned the corner and we came upon a planted window box, the next pic. Once again, we both took pics of this.
Then it hit me, we are always surrounded by art, at least, artful things. I decided to make a day of it. I went down Santa Cruz Avenue clicking the camera in my phone. And then, it struck me, the Plien Air art show is this weekend. If I could paint, these would be my submissions, but I’m not, so, you folks can dig it.
