Thanksgiving holiday

The house was on Ocean Front Walk in Venice, CA. This house stands wild and moody among the sexy contemporary neighbors. There was a beach house designed by Frank Gehry a few house away. It was foggy and cold as you might feel from the painting.
My friend, Minoru, painting in my apartment's courtyard. The light was coming from the left. The challenge was to break all the elements into fore ground, mid ground, and background.

The red sunset was hitting the Marriott hotel in Burbank, then it disappeared as I painted. I was sitting at the Fry's parking lot, and the train rail was right in front of me. The coolest color was on the mountain.
