This impressionist painting of San Francisco in the fog is by Richard Danskin (1936-2012) a very well-known Carmel, CA artist. It depicts a foggy San Francisco seen from the San Francisco Bay. There is a ferry as well as the Ferry Building in the painting. The painting is in very good condition. The frame is in fair condition with some paint loss. The linen mat is in poor condition; it has some stains on the lower edge. The painting is signed in the lower right corner and has “danskins Gallery of Imagination” along with a Carmel address on the reverse. Danskin was known primarily for his realistic paintings, but this one is very impressionistic.
Richard Arthur Danskin was born in Berkeley, Calif. in 1936. He grew up in El Cerrito and Kensington, Calif. and attended El Cerrito High School. As a youth Richard spent most of his time drawing and designing cars, boats and houses. He also spent many days in Alameda where his beloved uncle, Jack Ehrhorn, built wooden racing yachts. He was an avid sailor and had a great love for classic boats. Richard spent the early years of his career as a home designer in the San Francisco Bay Area. He designed hundreds of custom homes In the Lafayette and Orinda area, focusing on the contemporary California style of the 60's, working with glass, redwood, soaring ceilings and modernist lines. He left home design to pursue painting and opened his first art gallery in Carmel, Calif. in 1969. Over the years, he owned art galleries in Palm Springs, Calif., Palm Beach, Florida, Maui, Hawaii and Palm Desert, Calif. He is best known for his highly detailed realistic landscape paintings. He loved to travel the country searching for nostalgic scenes from rural America. He captured these scenes in a painting style that used highly realistic detail to evoke the beauty and sadness of a bygone time that could never be recaptured. Richard is also known for his 3-dimensional artworks depicting cities around the world. In later years he turned his focus more to developing and promoting other artists through his gallery. Richard sold his gallery in Palm Desert and retired in 2008. (Source: Obituary)
