Description The Coronado Ferry Dock is an art print I created using a fauvism technique (fauvism: style of painting born in Paris around 1905). This technique focuses on bold brush strokes creating abstract oriented shapes and bright non-naturalistic colors creating a bold modern or contemporary look. The setting is downtown San Diego as seen from Coronado Island across the bay by the ferry dock. The skyline wraps around the shoreline from the Coronado Bay Bridge on the south end to the airport on the north end of the bay.Follow my work:TheWallGallery: https://thewallgallery.comBlog: http://thewallgalleryblog.wordpress.com/Twitter:https://twitter.com/KirtWallGalleryFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/TheWallGallery.KirtTisdaleCopyright 2009 Kirt Tisdale/TheWallGallery.com
Kirt Tisdale, Everett, Washington Member Since February 2013 Artist Statement I have been creating art since I can remember. I have been blessed with having my work featured in various venues. What drives me is the beauty in the world with which we live. I remember as a kid looking up at the clouds and watching them change shape...if they could only stay in one shape long enough for me to enjoy and appreciate them....but that's not how it works. What I can do though is take a moment and freeze it. The beauty around us needs to be savored, contemplated and appreciated. Good art invokes an emotional response either through the scene depicted or the colors used. I hope my work invokes the same in you.
