There are endless possibilities when it comes to art. There aren't right or wrong answers, because art is a form of self-expression. That's why I appreciate it, because self-expression is valuable to me. Having an opportunity to create something to call your own is priceless.

California is going through a drought but it isn't the first time. In the 70s residents of California were asked to cut down on their water usage. There were waterless pools and dry lawns. Today the farmers and people up north are taking a harsher toll than Southern California. Our crops are drying out and people are losing jobs. Tourists won't realize that aspect of California and maybe that's why we won't be seeing accurate depictions of California on postcards.

This piece is in the style of a postcard because some people don't know the reality of California right now. It's not all glitz and glamour, but a shortage of a basic necessity. People are refusing to conserve water by continuously watering their lawn.
