Anno 2006. In a rush I tried to finally finish this canvas. The painting works started two years before. I was afraid to let it go. Such as old cathedrals it took a long time to be done, so it may be referred to as the monument. It was a challenge to my patience, I always felt too tired to paint more than two patches a day. If it was at the time of the cathedrals I wonder if it wouldn’t have been the beginning of something great. But we were at the time of computers and mass media so I was probably beginning to play some other strategy game…  

Talking to a friend, he reminded me of this canvas. He probably had some blured notion on his mind about it. But it was funny he mentioned it. I named this canvas Golden Gate, and in honor of his city San Francisco, here it is.
