Lately, I've been captivated by the intricate patterns found in fabric and wallpaper. I've seamlessly woven them into my still lifes and found it so enjoyable that I'm considering blending them into some beachscapes. Take this scene at Fletcher's Cove in Solana Beach, CA, for example. The lifeguard stands guard, surrounded by a limited palette of blues and rusts, while the sand is adorned with Matisse-inspired shapes.
