A lovely sketch by Janette. I did alter the three "decorative bits"....making them seagulls above for the "3" and putting my sentiment where the little banners were on her original sketch.

This looks just like the pier in Virginia Beach. I like your bright sunny colors! The seagulls appear to be having a marvelous time scanning the shore for treasures, kind of what I enjoy doing, only I pick up the empty shells! : )

Sallie, this is stunningly beautiful! It brings back memories of a walk on a pier in Port Aransas, Texas. While standing there, a storm approached and there was so much electricity in the air, our hair was all standing up.
I love how you coloured the pier scene and I love the way you incorporated the background to be part of the scene! LOVE it!
