It's time to head out to the coast once again...

On May 22, I'll have the Elantra packed and ready for my road trip to California. My destination is Long Beach, near Los Angeles, to show my artwork for an afternoon on Saturday, May 27th. Here are the details:

ART SHOW ON THE COLORADO LAGOON IN LONG BEACH

On Saturday afternoon, May 27, from 2-5 pm, Lagoon House Press is hosting a reception for artist Lee Mothes. The event will take place at the Lagoon House, 393 Haines Ave., Long Beach 90814. There will be an exhibit of Lee’s paintings, which will be for sale.

Lee Mothes is an artist who grew up in Sunset Beach/Seal Beach and attended Cal State Long Beach. His passion is painting coastal scenes, beaches and waves.

Lee’s painting of the Los Angeles River watershed was the basis for the Aquarium of the Pacific’s watershed exhibit and the cover of the novel, “When Water Was Everywhere.”

Lee is traveling from Wisconsin to spend the months of June and July fixing up a studio near the ocean in Northern California, funded by a successful Kickstarter campaign. He is stopping in Long Beach to see his brother and the beaches where he grew up.

If you think you’ll be able to drop by for wine, snacks, conversation and art, please let me know. I’ll send a reminder on my Facebook page closer to the date.

I hope we’ll see you on May 27, or later in Northern California.
