Fisherman’s Wharf, San Francisco

Recently, my wife Nanette and I discovered the heart of a favorite city. Imagine yourself on a picturesque fishing pier, looking back at some of the world’s most famous scenery. A luminous sunset shrouds the scene in a tranquil golden glow, as richly colored fogbanks and clouds dance overhead in my new painting Fisherman’s Wharf, San Francisco.

In the distance the lights of the famous Coit Tower begin to twinkle, while San Francisco’s skyline rises majestically over the waterfront. And what a waterfront! Quaint fishing boats of all descriptions sleep quietly at their moorings. Hint: study their whimsical names carefully – you may find some hidden Kinkade family references. The lights of wharf-side shops glow softly, creating brilliant patterns as they caress the rippling water of the tranquil bay. Steam rises here and there from sidewalk crab steamers, and overhead seagulls soar in the brisk sea air.

What an enchanting location! If, like me, you’ve left your heart in the City by the Bay, my Fisherman’s Wharf, San Francisco will bring a little music to your soul.
