James Gleeson’s 36x48” oil on canvas painting of Scoma’s, the world-famous San Francisco restaurant, beautifully captures its iconic sign and building bathed in the golden light of late afternoon. The scene highlights the interplay of sharp, angular shadows and warm sunlight, emphasizing the structure’s character and its connection to the waterfront setting. Set against a clear blue sky, the painting conveys a sense of calm and timelessness, evoking the charm of a cherished local landmark. Gleeson’s thick, textured brushstrokes lend the piece a vivid, almost tactile quality, while his attention to detail and atmospheric lighting captures the essence of Scoma’s as both a culinary destination and a symbol of San Francisco’s storied charm.
