When the kids were little we made frequent trips to Balboa Island. Here in the Fun Zone we'd visit the arcade where our little girl got really good at Skeeball. We'd take the three car ferry to the island and let the kids swim in the bay. I took the photo for this painting about a year ago. It's one of those rare places that thankfully, hasn't changed much. Lots of nostalgia, and I like how the painting turned out too.
Fair News: I'll be demonstrating as well as volunteering in the Gallery Store. Here is my basic schedule for demonstrating: Labor Day-10-7, Fair closed on all other Mondays and Tuesdays, Wednesdays-4pm to 10pm, Thursdays-10am to 5pm, Fridays-10am-4pm, Saturdays-10am to 4pm, Sundays-12pm-7pm(excluding the 16th).
Excellent composition, Karen! I think it's hard to make street scenes read well abstractly, and this one really does.
ReplyDeleteFantastic! Agree with Layne on the composition. A happy scene and I think you should keep this one.
ReplyDeleteGood luck at the fair. Sounds like fun.
Love this one! You really captured the feeling of hanging out in a little beach town.
ReplyDeleteSimply beautiful
ReplyDeleteJust wonderful! I always love to see palms and flags!
ReplyDeleteKaren, Loved the painting for reasons of enjoying Balboa with you. But, what really caught my eye was how amazing you are at painting letters!!!! Even magnified, the "Bay Arcade" sign looked so real.
