Ocean Beach Pier, aka Misty’s Home
I painted this on Monday or Wednesday. I was trying to be on the OB Pier, but I’m not gifted at navigation and wound up on the wrong street and then I got lazy.

This composition is weird. I did not know if this would work, and I’m not 100% sure it does work. But it is what it is. I think as artists we need to try to step outside what is comfortable and push the ‘rules’ or even break all of them while staying inside a particular tradition.
Here’s mine:

We also learned, from eavesdropping on tourists, that people in Spain are more dedicated about recycling than people in Texas. It’s only hearsay though, so don’t quote me on it.
