I recently had the opportunity to paint the Santa Monica Pier...at sunset! Our Saturday group leader and organizer suggested we do paintings from fellow artist's photos. I thought it was a great idea and several artists offered their photos for the challenge. I decided to try my friend Shinji's night time view of the Santa Monica Pier. I've only tried a few plein air nocturnes which were pretty difficult to paint at night on site. My most recent was almost three years ago A Busy Evening. Using this exciting photo was fun and I wished I could see this view in person.
