January 30, 2011 – It’s all about the light

This morning is one of the reasons I live in San Francisco. It’s all about the light. The light in the Bay Area is unique. It’s easier to render in a painting that it is to describe in words. After a dry few weeks in a wet winter, the rain came down last night. A front is blasting through. My windows are open letting in cold, crisp and amazingly clean air. The clouds are still lifting letting in these intense bursts of bright white light. Light that has the houses climbing up to Buena Vista glowing while the park looms dark and wet waiting for the day to dry out.
