Montara Beach May 2024

 Out at Montara Beach with the painting group today. Lovely weather, large turnout, some very good paintings. I got two: 8x10" pastel on Sienna PastelMat; 6x4" ink & watercolor on paper. B. Charlow 2024, Montara, CA.

And I am an author yet again!

 Who'da thunkit? Never had any intention of writing these books, but once they started there was no stopping. 

First book, "A Catskill Carnival", is really a memoir. History and very personal history of the Borscht Belt hotel scene I grew up in. 

Second book was inspired by reactions to the first one. I decided this time to make it short vignettes including the experiences of others, whose lives in the Catskills intersected with mine and my era there.

Have fun!



Pastel, Carmel
