San Francisco by Jay Malone of Buffalo NY
If you dined at the former Martin Cooks on Connecticut Street in Buffalo New York you might have spotted this painting of a street in San Francisco. The depth of perspective and play of heavy texture against the darkness with hints of illumination from the windows, street lights and automobiles immediately draws you in. Each time my husband and I visited for a very enjoyable meal we would stop and stare for a moment. One day we inquired about the artist and if there was any possibility he would be will to sell this captivating work of art. As you might have guessed the answer was yes and it is now hanging at the top of our bedroom stairway on the only large wall in our home. We love our open floor plan, but it does limit our ability to hang wonderful pieces of art like this one.
