+++++ What Thomas Kinkade said about this work +++++
"'I Left My Heart in San Francisco ...', so says the classic ballad; yet
what is it about the fabled city by the bay that so strongly tugs at the
heart strings?
I have yet to document a setting that is as quintessentially 'San
Francisco' as my newest work. We can almost hear the clanging of bells as a
cable car makes its way ponderously up the street while colorful vehicles
dodge to and fro on the congested pavement. At the far left the towers of a
Cathedral lend a timeless presence while in the distance the Coit Tower and
the picturesque monoliths of the bridge stand guard over the glistening
bay.
As I worked, I wanted so much to enter The Heart of San Francisco that I
even posed myself astride my vintage Harley Davidson motorcycle making my
way up the steep incline of the boulevard!"
~~Thomas Kinkade
