| Pleasure Pier Morning |
The Galveston Island shoreline is an amazing twenty-five miles long, and no matter how far we ventured along the beaches we could always spot the amusement rides of the Pleasure Pier in the distance. It became a landmark for us and so one morning we painted from a spot just south of the pier. The roller coaster, Ferris wheel and carnival food buildings were backlit and looked almost monochrome with the morning mist. This tonal scene changed dramatically in the afternoon when it had dazzling, bright sunshine and at night with all the flashing neon lights.
This was how I best remember it best - from our many morning walks.
