from the artist: Old fishing boats have always fascinated me. those on the verge of falling apart, and sinking into the sea seem to call me, and I cannot pass one by without shooting a photograph as inspiration for a future painting. I seek to capture their essence, in a time less hurried, a calmness of spirit. I want to preserve their beauty.

from the artist: I've long been inspired by old things. The texture and play of light on a weathered surface are the things that spark my imagination. I seek to capture a building's essence in my paintings, in a time less hurried with a calmness of spirit. Their strong simple shapes inspire me to try to somehow preserve their beauty captured at a moment in time.

from his Potrero Hill studio, San Francisco artist Bill Stanisich would lay down his brush and gaze down onto Yerba Buena Island, the Bay Bridge and surrounding water.  What he saw was ever-changing so he decided to capture on paper the various moods of mother nature. On still, clear nights, the water was a sheet of glass and Yerba Buena Island's silhouette soaked up the darkness creating a black void, while the tips of the Bay Bridge Towers emited beacons of light in the distance. When it rained, vague shadows were barely visible through the wet, dark skies.
