These rooftops are from Fisherman's Wharf at Pier 39. We were on a city tour with one of Eric's colleagues who lives in town. I love the series of angles and the muted colors that remind me of the bay.

A Day in the Life
I heart San Francisco. I am not sure whether I just took amazing ref photos while visiting or if it is just the nature of the city...but I feel inspired by and compelled to paint San Francisco every time I flip through images for future work.

Powell & Market
 |
| Powell and Market Oil on Canvas 12x12 (2012) |
"Powell and Market" was inspired by a trip to San Francisco with Eric a few years back. We met up with a friend and native of the city and he took us on a great little tour. I saw this streetcar from the back seat of his car and made him pull over in traffic to let me out so I could get some good reference photos.
After the holidays, there are two more San Francisco based paintings that I can't wait to get going on. Another street scene - but it's totally different then anything you've seen from me so far, and a harbor scene.
Price - $300
Comes framed in black float frame.
Currently available...message me if you are interested.

Mixed Media
Powell Street, San Francisco
Early on in 2009, I had an opportunity to travel to San Francisco for a few days. I took the train downtown and walked around for the afternoon. I came upon Powell St. and loved all the hustle and bustle going on. It was a great location to sketch with the trademark hill, cable cars, and people all over. I took some photos and did some sketching of the area and came up with this mixed media painting. I layered my canvas in newspaper applied with clear gesso. I then used vine charcoal and graphite to sketch into the canvas. I used lots of transparent layers of acrylic to get the desired effect. You can still see in some small areas some exposed newspaper which adds to the foggy look of the afternoon.
