Giant Burger, San Pablo

It's been cold and rainy, and I usually photograph in the sun — so now a big pile of paintings. I couldn't wait to paint the big Giant Burger sign on Market and Rumrill. The sign seemed to lift out of the tree foliage although it had a post of its own. In this version I put a lot of foreground in the painting as a kind of lead up to the restaurant. Afterward I realized the sign would take on a bit more flight if I put more sky in, so in the next version that's what I did.
