On my Heisler Park / Downtown walking tour, we ran into Kirk, the plein air painter doing his thing. Kirk has the best office in the world!
Orange Inn just won the "Spookiest Scarecrow" in the Chamber of Commerce Scarecrow Fest contest. Love all the Ryan Gourley art inside and out of this local hangout.

 Frightening Feddy sang last night at the Pageant of the Monsters. He was great as always. So were the haunted house, alien autopsy, and the wandering zombies. Happy Halloween!
Went to a great lecture last night at the Laguna Art Museum. Heard about Granville Redmond, one of the founders of California Impressionism. Scarlet Fever caused his deafness as a child and he never learned to talk. He became an award winning artist and moved to LA to be in silent movies. Charlie Chaplin collected his paintings and gave him roles in his movies. Granville is recognized as a leading landscape painter and bold colorist.

Did you notice the Beach House restaurant closed 3 weeks ago? The owners of The Deck bought the place, are renovating it, and will open it as Driftwood Kitchen hopefully by the end of the year. Stay tuned for the menu - can't wait!
