12 x 24 ~ oil on panel
(Commuter Ferry docked behind San Francisco's Ferry Building.)
This piece was about…achieving a tight & accurate rendering
of the boat & dock.
The water
and background are a little out of focus to make the ferry look even
sharper.
The composition is
designed to create a forced perspective,
leading the eye to the end of the
boat.
The pallet is almost
monochromatic cool grey,
with the exception of the warm cabin lights that
beckon you in.
Yes it’s true…this ferry goes to Vallejo, not Larkspur
Landing,
but I liked the sound of Larkspur better.
