If I had been a different kind of painter, I would have painted views of San Francisco Bay. The paintings huge. The potent views set like jewels amid the steep streets and the chains of colorful houses and apartments.

In the 70's Wayne Thiebaud painted a series of San Francisco streets. Wonderful works. Focusing on the streets themselves. Seemingly climbing to the skies.

I would have focused on the dark blue water of the Bay.
