I spent the summer on different beaches: the Pacific coast of Northern California, the Maggia river in Switzerland and our home beaches of East Hampton. Everywhere there is art on display. Not by famous artists but by common people that pick up stuff from the beach and put it together to make a “work of art”. It is playful. It also is testament to the beauty of nature. Often not much is needed to beautify the scene. Other times the objects are small (a pebble), or common (litter), or unnoticed (drift wood) and the artist wants to draw attention to their unique beauty. Here are some specimens I found.

Decorated Roots (East Hampton NY)
