Returning to San Francisco for the
evening

Once again I’m repainting, as a night scene, one of the locations I painted on the Virtual Paintout. This time it’s the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco that I painted four years ago using a view from Google Streetview - which is notoriously (and understandably) short of night scenes.
I mentioned at the time that ‘Zooming down a freeway, surrounded by people who
actually know where they’re going and want to get there faster than you happen
to be going, is never a pleasant place to be’ … and I’d have to say that driving
at night must be even worse! But it’s
certainly a spectacular view to paint!
