'East Pier in Summer'

Painted from a watercolour sketch, this is a much more 'up lifting' painting.  I love this pier in Dun Laoghaire Co. Dublin - it's always bustling with people with their dogs and kids. What made me stop here wasn't the scenery or the water, but the colours; the colours of clothing on the figures was so attractive, i knew it would make for a nice painting. The large blue bouy to the right and the coffee stand all add colour and vibrance.
