What prompted this painting was the Hitchcock movie 'Vertigo', which we watched for the 107th time.  Jimmy Stewart follows Kim Novak thru the Presidio and down to the base of the Golden Gate Bridge where she jumps into the bay and he heroically rescues her.   Brett and I and the pups were at Crissy Field beach when I snapped the photo.  It used to be the National Guard headquarters years back.

My new painting you see below, "Fifty Shades of Green", took me five days to complete.  I've had the flu.  Today I feel a bit more human and felt like enjoying a quick one - no sketching out, no planned out composition - all I knew is I wanted to paint the Golden Gate Bridge.  I was just there.  It does take your breath away - it's magnificent.  After watching a cool program on TV, about the 75th Anniversary, I simply was inspired.

I took this painting back from a gallery to make room for new work - I like my selection to stay fresh and current. It is a view from Vista Point, on the north end of the Golden Gate Bridge - the day was a typical spring day in San Francisco, a mixture of storm clouds and breaks of sunshine that lit the distance hills south of the city. An added note: this painting was removed from a frame and the edges are slightly marked, but those blemishes will be covered up by the lip of your frame.
