Blackie's Newport Beach by Janet Bludau, Abstract Architectural Painting


Day 7 of the 30 Day Challenge 
I wonder when someone will clue into the fact that there are 31 days in January?
I think I will keep quiet.

Blackie's in Newport Beach, Ca. has been around for as long as I can remember.
The full name is Blackie's By The Sea.
It has a sign hanging that says, "Sorry we're open" and  you can play pool for 50 cents.  It has always been a fisherman's hangout and a regular's hangout and a local's place that even the
 Duke (John Wayne) frequented.
Me?  Maybe once during college.  Honest.  I think it was a weaving bike ride down the boardwalk one late afternoon with a fun group of sun worshiping 21 year olds.
I now need to revisit after painting this.
Thank you for visiting.
