Downtown Alley#1- 3pm light
Center Place alleyway in Manhattan Beach is a favorite of mine to paint. - It is rather ugly because it has the back of shops and restaurants on one side and an old 1960's parking structure on the other ----But at the end it has a small gleaming jewel of a glimpse of the Pacific Ocean as you look west. In the afternoon- particularly if it is sunny the California light will bounce off the buildings and create fantastic shadows and dark graphic shapes. I think the painting above is the most successful.
