Hoover Tower, Stanford
12"x16" oil on canvas |
This is a view of Hoover Tower from the Dish trail in the evening. You are looking at Stanford University campus, the bottom of the SF Bay, and the dry hills beyond in the east. The tower ended up a strong focal point leading me inclined to call this "Axis Mundi" but I thought better of that and will merely mention that we are looking at a vertical tower pointing to the heavens from a place of higher learning. The composition is very stable, the buildings blend into the trees, and busy minds are at work among the greenery.
