an open book ...

getting back to that notion - of a studio by the ocean ...

i was re-reading John Huston's auto-biography the other day - an Artist, whom i've always admired - and came across this:

" Now that I'm of a certain age, I'm following a piece of old Irish advice in going to live by the sea: It stops old wounds from hurting. It revives the spirit. It quickens the passions of mind and body, yet lends tranquility to the soul."
