MIDDLE HARBOR, CRANES WITH PALETTE KNIFE

At Middle Harbor Park, I let loose with palette knives on a small canvas. The industrial cranes fly over the new silver and white glistening span of  the Bay Bridge and land near the autumnal colored shipping containers. I feel personally attached to Middle Harbor Park as I realized that this park is built on the site of the Oakland Naval Station where my father was stationed during WWII.  I could imagine him standing and looking out onto the San Francisco Bay and commenting on it's beauty.
