About 3 days a week, I throw on my shorts and running shoes,and battle the headwinds of the Marina Green and Crissy field in effort to reach one of the 7 wonders of the engineering world(documented,I think) The Golden Gate Bridge. Up until the Building of the Veranzano narrows bridge spanning the entry to the ports of New York City and New Jersey, the GGB had the Longest single suspended span of roadway between two towers. Built in the 1930's, at the cost of extraordinary amounts of money and workers lives. The wonder, still stands today as an incredible testament to mankind's ability to dream up the impossible and carry it through to its completion. The Bridge stands as the most photographed and visited landmark in North America.
And I can throw a rock at it. These paintings represent my impressions thus far of a sight I've never tired of. The smaller(Bridge Dusk) is acrylic on hand stretched canvas 33" x 18"
The Larger (Golden Gate Dawn) is also acrylic on canvas with wax 54"x 54"
