It is a bronze bas-relief sculptured mural 40 feet by 12 feet in the classic old world style. Randy’s vision for this piece pays tribute and homage to the rich ocean heritage and waterman culture pf Laguna Beach.
The finished piece will be placed on the Hobie building in downtown Laguna Beach. The art has been approved and accepted by the city of Laguna Beach and will be presented in April 2012. To see Tex Haines involvement in the project, check out the website @ http://adayinthelifelagunabeach.com/
