Practice for DSFDF challenge

So my follow DSFDF'rs found out what Karin's next 3 week challenge was.   I read her post very carefully and was impressed that she seems to know her followers well.

Instead of panicking this time, I went to all the websites she listed and also looked at her cityscapes.  She's right, I've never done a cityscape, never had an interest to but how am I going to learn if I don't constantly reach outside my comfort zone?  So last night I forced myself to try an paint a photo my friend took while we were walking around Pier 39 in SF.

It's not great but it's not as awful as I thought it was going to be before I started these challenges.  I consider it a warm up for the NYC image she posted.  Oy Vay!
