Long Beach

Crisp Spring day winds gusting birds on beach The West End where Artists aspire to live their dreams Strolling Boardwalk regulars pass by enjoying rhythm Daily excursions through turmoil and jubilant feelings Fog rolls in under a sprinkle Ocean in a tempest Sun breaks through during lackluster afternoon children playing Cell phone rings friendly voice amidst chaos Baseball season starts America's pastime frigid eve Another dawn breaks monotony anxiety pesters Spring snowfall imminent insomnia strikes Is it natural? A child is an angel my flesh and blood sleeping peacefully Video games galore when you hang with a 14 year old.

How cool is this!! I don't know if you paint, but what a sweet little book of plein air watercolour illustrations in a journal with these would be awesome. I like your work Frank. Well done. Big Hugggs. Deb
