When one is an artist, EVERYTHING is business! Everywhere I go there are things to see, photo and draw or paint. Each person I meet is a potential customer. Each town I visit is a possible venue for making and selling art. Looks as if this man is on vacation. Indeed, he is! His wife, however, is working as usual. If my camera is in my pocket, I am working! Once we arrived at our destination, we did not use the car again until it was time to go home. Lots of beach walking (although my feet are still blisterical from the 1/2 marathon. . . sigh) and lots of biking. We saw many of these seals, although most of them were dead. Something icky is happening because in the 6 mile stretch from Morro Rock to Cayucos Pier there were about 12 of these poor guys. Wouldn’t this make a nice painting? I have lots of plans for paintings and I also have a place in Cayucos to sell them! There isn’t enough time to paint as fast and as much as I want to paint right now, but I’ll make lists, figure out the order of “urgency” and keep on making art. This is the last sunset of my 40s. I’m ready for my 50s now. Good thing – I am in them!
