My show is hung at Viewpoints Gallery. "Golden Gate Bridge at Sunset" sold on the first day. My reception is Saturday, December 5, from 2-5 and open to the public.

I liked the view of the bridge from this angle and the warm light at sunset. I used alizarin crimson mixed with ultramarine blue to paint the sky in the distance.  I don't use alizarin very often because it's a cool red, but it worked in this painting.

Driving North on the 101 Freeway, I liked the warm light of sunset and the rhythmic patterns of the cars on the freeway. Although everyone hates to commute, there is beauty in the repetitive patterns, shapes and colors. I like the way my eye bounces around from warm to cool colors and shape to shape.

6th Street, San Francisco

6th Street, San Francisco

original oil painting, 14x11

SOLD

6th Street is a busy thoroughfare in San Francisco. In the distance is the Golden Gate Theater on Market Street. The Golden Gate Theater opened its doors in 1922 as a vaudeville venue and was restored and reopened in the late 1970s.

The composition was interesting for me, because the buildings on Market Street come in at an angle to 6th Street. The perspective of the buildings was a challenge.
