Inter-Continental & Thermal Plant

Oil on canvas.

24x36x2"

Inter-Continental & Thermal Plant, presents the thermal plant originally situated at 6th & Jessie Streets that I've painted in previous works relating to the site and this time it is standing against the tall glass facade of the Inter-Continental Hotel of San Francisco's South of Market. The buildings are featured in a linear format, in abstracted, colorful forms, and surrounded by a changing cloudy sky. This painting was inspired by a photograph taken by San Francisco Chronicle Urban Critic - John King, whom I've admired for his writings and photography, and mutual liking of the city's iconic architecture. I was delighted he offered permission to paint it back in 2013 as reference imagery for this piece. The painted buildings continue to captivate and embrace the city's changing landscape.
