"Futuristic Old Time San Francisco" Size with frame: 13 x 13 x 3 cm This is a really unique artwork, part of a new collection called "Futuristic Old Time Cities". It is an acrylic and fluorescent colour painting on high quality cotton canvas. The frame is made with real wood, (so there are little beautiful signs of imperfections), by a framer in England. maria has added to it just a touch of gold to make it even more special. The painting and the frame look perfect together! She was inspired by an old photo of San Francisco in the 1880's. You can see the famous "Call" building in its entire beauty. She has painted her most popular characters, a Ufo, a futuristic helicopter and one of the TV people on top of a building.. "Futuristic Old Time San Francisco" looks a lot more vibrant in the flesh!
