+++++ What Thomas Kinkade said about this work +++++
"For me, the romance of San Francisco begins at Fisherman's Wharf. The
Golden Gate Bridge stands as a welcoming sentinel, while sunset bathes the
fog shrouded air and glistens on the moist pavement. Aficionados of San
Francisco will note many romantic touches; replacing the contemporary wharf
electric trolleys with the more colorful and nostalgic cable cars, clearing
away some of the fisherman's shacks along Sacoma's pier to allow a less
interupted view of the famous Golden Gate, and dressing the scene with an
uninterupted flow of vintage vehicles. On the top floor of the famous
Castagnola's restaurant, I even included a depiction of myself as a little
boy looking out in awe at the distant bay as a fog shrouded ship departs
for points unknown. Perhaps the romance of "City by the Bay", at least for
me, began in childhood with such whimsical daydreams."
