Clouds But No Rain

oil on canvas panel 9" by 12", plein air. Painted at Pt. Richmond up on Crest Avenue. That is San Francisco in the background with Angel Island on the right and Alcatraz in the middle. This time a lot better light as I finished it an hour before sunset. The storm coming in 2 days from now is supposed to bring in 5 inches of rain. Yay!

I'm going to get my Saturday group to paint there one of these weekends. Laura hasn't ever been there, but she's painted a couple of times down below there at the water level. Absolute killer views from there! Stu

Comment by Stuart J. Gourlay on December 10, 2014 at 19:36: Thank you very much Jon, Jessica, Howard, Ian and Laura. Ian, I deliberately left the foreground very abstract and withour detail to draw you into the painting with my focal paint out by the dredge and the islands in front of the cityscape. I want the viewer way back in the picture chasing that light. I don't want much time spent looking at the foreground other than to appreciate that we are up on a hill.
