Catalina Pier


The famous Green pier in Avalon on Catalina Island. Sure everybody paints this icon but I had to give it a shot myself. That bright aqua green on the buildings is the signature color on the island. In fact someone is painting that green somewhere everyday. As I was painting, the crew came by and repainted the hand rails near me. One of the hardest things with a scene like this is trying to paint while boats come and go. There must have been 20 boats that would dock for a bit and then leave. I opted to leave them out. That beautiful purple on the horizon is actually Los Angeles smog. For all the bad rap it gets, it sure makes a colorful sky.
