In April 2024, I met my painting group one morning at the Santa Monica Pier to do some plein air painting. The weather was perfect: sunny but cool. We set up our easels at different spots on the pier, careful not to be in the way.
I painted a wide view of the pier with all the people, buildings, and railings. This is the most current version of the painting, I did some clean-up and fixes on the original. I think it turned out well in that it really shows the colors and the hustle-bustle of the pier.
