This lovely cityscape will likely be viewed with a twinge of
nostalgia by many who have visited the
emblematic west coast of San Francisco. The artist of this piece has
chosen to depict the city's most significant landmark: The Golden Gate Bridge.
The Golden Gate Bridge is here depicted with such charm and idealism that it is
hard not to fall under this original canvas painting's magic spell. The color's
of this painting are warm shades of the most perfect sunset ranging from light
pinks to golden hues. The city and the water surrounding it are cast in blue,
while the bridge rises up over both in carefully applied lines of white and
black. The contrasts between the different elements of this painting are
subtle, but it is the nuances of such a work that the viewer will most likely
ultimately find most compelling. These subtle components are so carefully
applied that it seems as though you could walk into the scene we are presented
with. From the carefully curling of the waves of the bay, to the wires lifting
from the bridge, each piece is so deliberate it is heart wrenching. Despite its
very specific California reference, this painting will resonate will viewers
who have never even been there, it likely to do with the uniquely American
scene we are presented with and the culturally identity we all share.
The structure of San Francisco Emblem is a traditional one.
The scene of this painting is painted across a single, large canvas. Yet, this
is perhaps the best possible design for a painting such as San Francisco Emblem
that requires both scale and unity. Not to mention that San Francisco Emblem is
a rather straightforward landscape and traditional in many ways. The size of
this painting accommodates the scene at hand quite gracefully, and can achieve
grandeur without consuming much wall space. The marriage of an epic landscape
(or cityscape, if you prefer) with a scale at once fitting and wondrous is a
hard balance to strike, yet San Francisco Emblem does so effortlessly. If you
would like to explore more depictions of San Francisco and other cities, take a
look around our Cityscape
Canvas gallery and you will surely find some eye catching urban scenes. One
of the scenes that will probably catch your eye there is Glowing
Street, a painting that shares the colors and mood of San Francisco Emblem,
with a more impressionistic edge.
