At times, when I start a painting like this, I think of how I can avoid the visual confusion of all the layers of activity. Paintings can be too busy especially compressed into a 6" square. Generally I start from the back, like the buildings across the street, and work my way in. I am very pleased with this piece, a little depiction of life in the big city.
Thus began the morning of my first day in San Francisco, fueling up with a Starbucks Mocha Cappacino and muffin to go.

I'd like to take you through my adventure in San Francisco, starting with the first night I arrived. I stayed nearby the bustling corner of Market and Fourth Streets, and when night falls, that area lights up like a Christmas tree. Your eyes dance around the colors and the movement of lights and people - it's just fantastic. This view is looking east, towards the Ferry Building way down in the unseen distance. I also had the pleasure of a bright, (near) full moon that added to the beauty of the city.
