Passing the time in Oakland by painting in various cafes and listening to people at nearby tables talk, to get a sense of the culture in the Bay Area. So far, I notice a greater acceptance of art as a living; concern for politics; environmental concerns filter into many conversations; food and exercise. Also people obey the signals at street corners: shocking since in Boston it is everyone for themselves dodging in front of traffic. NO, even at 6 am people patiently wait for the walk sign to cross the street even if no car is visible for miles! They look at me funny if I try to cross.
Looking for something to paint I saw these little salt shakers all lined up and thought, well that might be a nice challenge! Maybe do a series of other mundane objects all in a row. Going out now to look for ketchup bottles or spoons.
