Michael Clarke of the rock band The Byrds had a natural predilection for the arts: I like to paint outside on the bay or by the ocean. The land and seascapes inspire me to be a part of nature, to be with the breeze, the overwhelming sky, the burning sun, the chain saws, leaf-blowers, and police sirens. I find that biting gnats, attack seagulls, and lightening enhance the environment.
