CENTER PLACE Alley

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.

I have recently collated my watercolors on Flickr - no words/poetry or thoughts - just watercolors if you are interested!   http://www.flickr.com/photos/luisamillicentart/
