SHEEWOL

 

This is a personal piece that I created for my sister in law Cheryl. She was looking for something kinda different and unique, and while she likes my work she is not easily impressed, so for this painting I stepped back, thought a little different and gave her a heart felt piece that no one else would have, a one-of-a-kind painting nothing like my usual stuff. 

This is a painting representing the Westlake District of Daly City, an aerial perspective of where my wife and I would hang out as kids, at Cheryl’s apartment on Crestwood between Belmar and South Mayfair. The dot represents where her apartment was on the map. The reason I picked this is because of the sentimental impact it has in the message, I have known my wife for 28 years and the earliest memories I have of her include the living room and front lawn of the apartment complex, as well as when I met Cheryl, a hardworking single mom, super cool, let us smoke and chill as long as you followed her rules you were good. It wasn’t full of the greatest memories but there were definitely many more memories to come, this was the jump off.

SEA LEVELS 415

  (see key below) This painting was inspired by my 2 youngest kids, Marcus and Maggie. We went on what they affectionately refer to as a "DADventure" (usually a hike or beach day), this time we went to the Golden Gate Bridge overlook at Vista Point and they asked me seriously if I thought the melting polar ice caps and global warming would ever cause the sea level to rise above to peaks of the Golden Gate Bridge, I thought, let's paint it...? I spent HOURS studying diver footage of the San Francisco Bay and learning about the mystique around the shifting currents and ice cold waters and watched a NatGeo special where they "DRAINED: ALCATRAZ",  I was intrigued and wanted to explore the topography around the entrance of the GGB (Bridge) so with the help of old videos and LYDAR scans of the Bay, I was able to get this PRETTY-ACCURATE depiction of the bridge with the sea level at near peak.  This painting was the most frustrating and emotionally draining piece I hav...
