We drove up to Crissy Field and sighted--in my view--the most wonderful miracle of architecture I have ever seen: the Golden Gate Bridge. As a native northern California, I have a special love for that monument that rises up over the water into the clouds. For the 2 and a half hours that I painted there on that windy beach, I experienced the power and beauty of the vision, efforts and reality of one of the architectural wonders of the world.
