Watercolor on Arches
I was at Crissy Field in San Francisco last spring. It was one of those amazing days when the sun was out early and so was everyone. I really was trying to look somewhat touristy as I shot images of people out and about on the promenade. Even from a distance, they seemed to know what I was up to.
I liked the way the shadows linked a somewhat disparate grouping of people. Each so individual yet with a common intent, to enjoy the beautiful morning.
One of the things I love about San Francisco is that when the sun shines, and it does, the overall light is a soft, shimmering blue. It doesn't matter where you are, either. What a beautiful place.

Watercolor on Arches, 21" x 29"

Lighthouses are a popular subject for painters. To avoid 'just another lighthouse', I got down on my knees in front of it and captured photographs that had a totally different perspective. I often paint from my digital photos. I found this image to be strong and protective.
