The Spirit of Laguna Beach

Through his colorful oil paintings and contemplative verse, artist Steve Simon presents an inspired artistic journey of this charming city along the world-renowned Southern California riviera.

Wielding both the paintbrush and the pen, he has captured the spirit of Laguna Beach through magical impressions. The question is, does he paint the poem or write the painting? The two become one in a joyful experience that touches the heart with sensitivity and delight.

The complete 36-piece collection of paintings and accompanying poems reproduced in this beautifully crafted book is an invitation to experience through an artist’s eye a unique perspective of a place of beauty and charm—the Spirit of Laguna Beach.
