Artwork details:
Mixed media wall artwork: My version of the Don Quixote story portrays the artist's struggles here in Laguna Beach, and the conquering of demons, in hopes of sharing a better, brighter day ahead. This piece of art is a self-portrait of sorts. It's also a tribute to a classic Laguna Beach landmark, and all the history that the lifeguard tower has witnessed over the years. It's the story of the artist's journey and the journey all of us share in our quest for each of our dreams in life. Laguna is famous for its art, yet there is struggle in artistry and the pursuit of any meaningful passion. The symbology of Don Quixote's quest entered my mind during an evening walk on the beach. We each have monsters to battle. The lifeguard tower grows windmill arms and transforms in the sunset hour as twilight approaches. This time Don Quixote has fought and won, as we who love Laguna Beach have won simply by attempting the impossible dream. When I was young, my father used to play the cello part in the Don Quixote musical work by Strauss, and it's always been close to my heart. It means so much to share this work with fellow artists, my wife Jennifer, the Laguna Beach community and with anyone who identifies with the Cervantes story in their own life. Love conquers all. - David Michael Vaughn
