There is something at once haunting, whimsical, and nostalgic about this pier seascape. We see it in the entryway of a coastal home or brought along as a housewarming gift on a first visit to a friend’s beach house. We might hang it in a little boy’s room, give it to an uncle for his 80th birthday, or hang it in a study right where your gaze lands when you look up from your work.
