100 Paintings of San Francisco

With 100 Paintings of San Francisco, I’ve crossed the bridge and found the process of painting ‘the city’ to be consistently and similarly rewarding. I am inspired not only by San Francisco’s iconic landmarks, recognizable restaurants, and storefronts, but also the parts that are less notable yet visually dynamic, such as ordinary corner markets or a highway overpass. I work from my own photographs and complete the paintings in my Oakland studio. Most of the works are acrylic on paper, 8x8 or 8x10 inches in size. I am interested in the microcosm of the painting, allowing vibrant colors to emerge through thin layers of paint.
