I wanted to do at least one painting for my show that was quintessentially Santa Barbara, I think this pretty much sums it up. Turns out I could have included the Mission too (had no idea you could see it from the pier) but it was just too small and would have looked pretty awkward.
Red buildings are so much fun :) I found a ton of great stuff to paint on Stearns Wharf in Santa Barbara, I'll have to go back soon. I actually included some people in this little scene...baby steps.
