My footsteps follow a yellow light that leads to the sea. But along the way I stop on paths unknown or known, but forgotten. I fling passion at the open doors of shadowed worlds or cool, white rooms full of seasoned weary travelors. And occassionally I see a new soul reach through a cafe window to say “welcome, and stay awhile.” Then I am on my way again, to the sea and the light.
“Corner Cafe” is acrylic on Tyvek paper 24″×36″ by John Fish 2011. From a photo by myself of a street scene on Hollywood Blvd. near Western Ave. in Los Angeles

    You’ve captured, or portrayed, a wonderful feeling of welcome here John. This reminds me of the small cafes in Mexico City that always felt homey and friendly.
