"Powell Street"


6x6" oil on Gessobord - sold
Sanchez Art Center, "50/50" #14

This was one of those images I was pretty sure wasn't going to work as a small painting. I felt there was just too much visual information. What attracted me to this scene was the bright band of light on the street and buildings to the right. I'm glad I gave it a try, I think it worked. This view is down Powell Street looking toward Union Square.
