Inspiration:
Wind whips the the warm sunshine through the clothes drying on
the line. The birds arrive to chat and play amid the ever
changing shapes.
The first five years of my life, I lived in the little beach
town of Playa del Rey in Southern California. Our house sat on
a sand dune buffeted by the coastal breezes. My mother would
send me to play in the backyard, often giving me the "job"
of chasing the birds off the laundry line. This painting
is about that memory. It is the second one in the series. The
first one is Laundry on the
Line.
