Carlsbad is an Artist

The whaling horn of a passing train warns as the tide awakes under the thick haze of the sagging sky. The moon hides a grin and shoots winks across the moist sky. A wish tumbles under my feet, through dry shrubs and over sandy rocks ending in an echoing splash. Ripples play tag along the shore and buoys dance. Roadside palms sit ablaze in a smokeless inferno and cars putter to the tune of crashing waves. Carlsbad is an artist who paints favorite sights and local icons with brushstrokes as beautiful as the halls of your favorite museums.

If Carlsbad could create you a painting, what would it be? Where would it take place and what would be the subject? Whether a sunset, a random juxtaposition or a gazing view, Carlsbad creates everyday. As a collector of local beauty, snap a photo and hang it on your wall. You can’t take home a Carlsbad original, but you can hang a copy.

Do you have a favorite Carlsbad original? What are your favorite icons? The smoke stalk of the power plant? the glistening moon in the night lagoon? the glowing trails of cars under blazing palms? Keep your eyes open because Carlsbad never stops paintings as long as you keep observing.

Carlsbad is an artist, What have you seen it paint?
