Judah Street Sunset

Oil on canvas, 18" by 24". This is Judah Street at 45th Avenue (out in the "Sunset District" or "the Avenues" in San Francisco looking East. The "N-Judah Car" of the SF "Muni" runs along the tracks. The cars are silver gray and not very colorful. The setting sun was at my back when I photographed this scene. This is a mixed business and residential area of SF with shops and resturants along Judah Street. This is about 5 or 6 blocks from the "Great Highway" and Ocean Beach. The street car goes right past UCSF Medical Center and all the way downtown on Market Street to the Embarcadero on SF Bay and then out to the AT&T baseball stadium where the 2012 World Series hampions, the SF Giants, play. Quite a ride.

Comment by Xiao Li on July 15, 2013 at 1:54: Still doing research at the University of Florida. I wish I could have more time painting. I may have to wait until retired to do what I like to do rather then what I need to do.
