Pier 23





Acrylic on Canvas Panel

Back to my regular acrylics (saving the open ones for another landscape). I'd toyed with the idea of doing this for a while, but felt like I couldn't make a good composition of it. I finally decided I wouldn't worry about that so much, and instead concentrate on the contrast of the light and dark areas and trying to see how much information to include in the shadow areas.

I agree with Gwen - the warm light on the building contrasted with the cool shadows and the sky is very beautiful.
