Let's Get Away 6 x 6 oil on panel

Cavallo Point once an army post known as Ft. Baker, is located 

in Sausalito, CA. With views of the San Francisco skyline, it is now a

luxury hotel. Guests can choose between historic or modern lodging.

We chose historic! I love painting architecture. It's kind of like fitting

pieces of a puzzle together. I don't trace the image on my surface, but

start with a few markings to establish the placement of some of the key 

elements, such as the peaks of the roof. From there, using my brush as

a tool, I hold it up at the same angle as I see in my subject and then 

replicate that angle on my painting. If I am careful and patient, I find

that it comes together in a fairly believable representation. This 

painting is available on the Daily Paintworks auction.
