6th ArtstyleArt, Cubism + Architecture: "I left my heart in San Francisco"
16 x 20 oil on canvas
This is my entry for @aksinya's 6th Artstyle challenge. https://steemit.com/artstyleart/@aksinya/6th-artstyleart-theme-announcement-cubism-architecture
This is The Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco Califonia, USA
I chose this subject as its considered an iconic as it was named "one of the seven wonders of the modern world" named by The American Society of Civil Engineers in 1994
I named this "I left my heart in San Francisco" based on a famous song by Tony Bennett in 1962.
Honestly this is by far the hardest for me using oil paint, and brush as with cubism needs straight lines, i use free hand on all the lines. And i tell you it is not easy to make straight lines without any guide specially with a small brush, i still consider this a bit of an abstract, so i felt a little freedom here, but if i had more time ( as i have work tonight till sat) i would have used colored pencil or pastel oils, and i think is more appropriate with this style, It was fun making tho, i had doubts if i should join this or not, but i just simply could not resist doing this challenge! Thank you so much @aksinya with this very interesting challenge.
sometimes we need to step out of out comfort zones, and take risk and challenges out of what we are used to, as it can show us what we are able to do and the possiblities of what we may become. @errymil

I'm OG Cali, my kids love the ocean. When we get into a home again, we'd like a reminder of the Pacific Coast. Thanks my friend ☺ Keep up the great work‼

I want to try that @dozjia soon
Thank you! and great interpretation
I was going to paint Golden gate too for the challenge.... but now I would pick another object
Sure why not, i want to see your golden gate, sometimes the hardest part is picking a subject, please do, im not here to compete anyways hehe
oh, don't worry. I can pick something else since I don't start yet...
I thought since I'm californian it would be nice to use them.
I have few more great ideas
I'm glad to you for making my choice narrow
Ok looking forward to you art! Namaste🙏🏼
WOW I've noticed the flowers of life after some seconds...Powerful
Awesome observation, i always add the flower of life to all my paintings sometimes hidden sometimes pianted. Really appreciate that you really looked into it. As i am obsessed with this symbol, and it got me started to paintings too
I also like the symbol and what it means.
I will follow your work more closely
I have a lot of artwork i shoul tag it #floweroflife, you just gave me an idea, give me a minute i will tag it
Unfortunately i could not edit my old post, just wanted to use that tag, maybe from
Now on i will tag it, i was able to tag 3 of my painting with #floweroflife
Just great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not the greatest but was able to commit and finish! This was totally new to me again. Thank you @aksinya
Excellent! Very cool with great colors! I have my own rendition of this. I'd show it but it's somewhere in storage :(
Thank you @stillwater, appreciate it, hope you can find that painting and show us. I followed you by the way
Inspiring as always. I love the top of a heart I see in the sky. Actually, if I follow the lines, I see a full heart.
Inner and outer heart all enclosed in the flower of life! Thanks for noticing @weq
I couldn't miss it! It's a beautiful touch.
Beautiful! Great job.. San Fran is one of my favorite cities
