Nob Hill, San Francisco
6x8 original oil painting
SOLD
Nob Hill is an affluent district of San Francisco centered at the intersection of California and Powell streets. It is one of San Francisco's original "Seven Hills." Because of the views and its central position, early on Nob Hill became an exclusive enclave of the rich and famous, including Leland Stanford, founder of Stanford University.
Driving in San Francisco may be challenging, but it's nothing compared to parking. Carry plenty of quarters, give yourself extra time to find a parking space, and always curb your wheels when parallel parking on a hill (unless you like tickets).
Although this piece may appear to be about parking, actually I was attracted to the composition because of the sloping angle of the street against the tall building in the background. The unusual way the cars are parked provides a focal point for the composition.
