Description
This is a photo of a "painting in progress". Out of my kitchen window, I saw the huge artist's pallet and canvas out on the trail. On the beginning of the painting, there was the trail, actually appearing to merge merge with the actual trail in a this perfectly lovely setting. Pacific Grove, CA (or "The Monterey Peninsula") is stated, by many, to be one of the most beautiful places in the world! I grabbed my camera and ran out to capture this scene, before it got away! It is one of several of my photos that hang in 20 X 30 prints in several friend's homes. I can't remember the details of the story of the "Magic Carpet". It extends for about 2 miles on property that was donated to Pacific Grove, presumably when "Oceanview Boulevard" was first built. The elderly City, gardener, Mr. Motta, was the one who planted "the Magic carpet across from all the lovely homes along Ocean view Blvd. He was a truly talented gardener!
May I suggest - Photo on Canvas, though it is very pretty matted and framed, also. I like the metal prints, also. The FAA watermark will not appear on any of the finished Art Products. *

Thank you, so very much, Dawn! It was beautiful place to live but I was always cold there. Now we live where we have all different kinds weather and I think I like it better. But we have some fond memories and friends of Pacific Grove after a total of 20 years living there..

Oops, I didn't mean to convey that this was my (art in progress).The artist had left the canvas and was apparently down at the beach, or sitting on a bench. When we lived across the street from there, many years ago. I looked out my kitchen window and saw that huge pallet and was enchanted. Then I saw the trail and the trees from the canvas appearing to connect with the actual trail and trees, and thought it would be a wonderful photo. I grabbed my camera and ran out to take the photo. Artists were a common site along that trail. Also many Art Lessons. I see my error on my write-up, where I was trying to suggest that the "buyer" do Photo on Canvas. I change that to after description. It is only the photo that is mine. This was before I ever had Art Lessons. Thank you for the comment, First Star,
