Big Red, oil on gessobord, 6x6 inches
I spent some time in California over the holidays and loved every minute of it.
I have seen so many animated paintings of the Golden Gate Bridge lately that I decided to try. And I will try again. The detail of the bridge itself presented a lot of fine-motor issues for me this particular day (my hands were frozen in my unheated basement studio). I enjoyed working on this regardless. To capture the photo, I had to hike down a small but steep trail of one of the National Parks that are scattered around San Francisco. Usually there are a lot of sailboats in the bay but this cold day there were few.
