My Original Source Photo for Series of New Paintings – San Francisco Golden Gate Bridge

—

*

San Francisco Bridge painting series 2026.

Currently 2 paintings posted, working on more. I do intend to do another bridge version later, based on a different photo, so I’ll to show those paintings (none done yet) in a new series for that photo when I have new work for it (wish me good luck!).

The image opportunity itself was via an evening boat ride my wife Sheila and I took on our so-far only trip to San Francisco a couple years ago, and the image opportunity itself came up suddenly as we crossed under bridge. We were inside the large wide windowed touring compartment, saw the developmenting angle of vision and rushed out on the outdoors viewing deck and started clicking away fast as I could and soon the angle and perspective and lighting was gone.

I’d call it good timing, but really it was plain old good fortune I was able to worm past the other folks, push the door open, and find a small clear spot of point of view. Oh, and already have my camera phone on, lol! 😊

Thanks so much everyone, hopefully doing shorter more frequent posts going forward 🙏 ❤️

As an artist, be selective about whose opinions you accept—feedback from people who misunderstand you, are biased, jealous, uninformed, or have different goals can be misleading or harmful. Trust critiques from people who have relevant experience, intentions of helping you grow, and constructive, specific suggestions; ignore vague, negative, or self-serving comments

There is a stage of every meaningful project that almost never gets seen.

Before the article, the proposal, the finished language, there is only the spark. A question, a tension, a fragment of intuition.

Most people meet the work once it is polished. But some of the most interesting thinking happens while the idea is still open to move.

Some ideas need distance to become clear.
Others need company.

Editing and rephrasing certainly happen in later drafts. But if the core structure looks like Escher's Belvedere (https://mcescher.com/gallery/impossible-constructions/#iLightbox[gallery_image_1]/3), how can you ever transform it into a functional construction later?

A short before/after video of my truck conversion. I did this over a few months at the end of last summer ... whilst living in it, which was hectic. Very proud of my handywork, which was all done by myself (except the panelling) and with free/cheap and recycled materials 😊
