_____________________________________________ _________________________
Manhattan Beach is a beachfront city located in southwestern Los Angeles County, California, USA. Its population was 35,135 at the 2010 census, up from 33,852 at the 2000 census. The city is on the Pacific coast, south of El Segundo, and north of Hermosa Beach. Manhattan Beach is the home of both beach and indoor volleyball, and surfing.
During the winter, the waves can get as big as 12 feet (3.7 m). It is one of the three Beach Cities in the South Bay.
Manhattan Beach is an affluent beach town within commuting distance of Los Angeles and therefore it is one of the most expensive coastal towns in which to live in America, according to the most recent Fortune Magazine rankings. The median price of a single family dwelling greatly exceeds the already high Los Angeles County median price by well over 100%.
Property in Manhattan Beach is exceptionally expensive when considering the size of land for sale. In comparison, a half acre of land in Bel-Air is valued at $20 million, while a half acre of land on the Strand in Manhattan Beach is valued at $35 million.
Homes with an ocean view often exceed $5 million in cost.

I watch your work and enjoy your various subjects. Please let me know when you have your next exhibition. I would like to attend.
This painting has inspired another gallery, IMPRESSIONISM DEFINED IN WATERCOLOR with the following text:
This is one of my favorite works of art by one of my favorite artists. Having studied impressionism for many of my nearly 70 years, I have seen many paintings. This is one of the best I have seen; this is one that has the style I like, the style I would pick if I had a choice of choosing a personal style. But style is individual and belongs exclusively to the artist who painted the work. This is the difference between art and favorite art.
A SHORT ESSAY ABOUT MANHATTAN PIER
Some might ask why I mention how a work affects me personally when I comment on gallery items and that is a valid question and one that deserves a valid answer.
Manhattan Pier exists both on the surface of SKYCHANG's watercolor surface and bespeaks the work of a master watercolorist; it speaks volumes about the art of watercolor to those who love and appreciate this medium.
As one who truly loves watercolors and Manhattan Beach, it is extra special to me. Thus, my mention that my 17th summer was spent in the shadows and in the warm Pacific sunlight around and about this pier, this legendary landmark, warms my heart, restores my youthful dreams and expectations and it is very special to me personally.
It is, however, a terrific watercolor. So, in a nutshell, a mini-essay about SKSCHANG's works and my youthful summer many, many years ago.
Thanks for letting me exhibit your work.
