Open To Interpretation
Day 1 #stradaseasel
Notes: rolled out before sunup, without much sleep...reached Aliso at 6am...overcast cloudy...and, and the anticipated place to be begin the plein aire effort, the "spot", the parking spot nearest the Palace/Bluff, the Palm Island, was, I dunno, under construction...four parking spots to the right converted to handicap...dont know but the spot will be too...snacked on Jack in the Box #22/large coffee...in the dark, threw all the oil painting gear, the plein air easel, in Silver, my Jeep...and between lack of sleep, and upset tummy, couldn't muster to set up on the Spot, which I could still do...just having to park behind it...thought long...did the sketch when it occurred to take note of what was right in front of me...the little barrier is bright bright orange...out on the ocean is a lobster trap float-too, bright orange...and in the sky, a touch of pink/orange from the sun rise...otherwise, everything was greens and greys...a reflective puddle-high tide had washed sand all over the lot...the seagull on the lamp post an Aliso icon!...no skid kids this early, but over the weekend there was a contest...see Skid Kids on youtube...the beach is torn up from high surf in August...missing sand...giant pick up truck rolled up playing loud music...parked, and still played loud music...and, I left off...thought is to go to Long Beach tomorrow, and see the parked container ships...there, or a little view park at Jamboree and Hwy 1 that overlooks the Back Bay...one camera swiped, another damaged, others somewhere...I have this itch to buy a new small point and shoot...just for the out and abouts...
