About: Guanabo Beach is 15 to 20 miles east of Havana... its a lovely wide white sand beach and must have been popular before the Revolution. The road just ended at the edge of the beach. As I was taking it in, I saw a large abandoned pre-revolution pink building at the edge of the beach in a grove of palms 60 or so meters from road. It must have been a large bar-restaurant, dance hall, and as I walked around this interior wall was visible from outside; I was intrigued because 'it', this painting seemed so intentional and yet there was no surviving pictorial element; although now that I think about it, based on the 2 primary colors blue and yellow, it was probably a simple trompe l'oeil of sand and sea in colorful squarish ‘frame’ painted on what was once a rose pink wall.
