Russ Wagner – Artist

We saw his work at Union Square in SF one day with one of the «Red Umbrellas Open Air Art Shows». Loved his SF Themed oil paintings. Didn’t buy anything at the time but mulled it over and then called him back. He still had one of the two paintings we liked so we bought it. Unfortunately he had sold the other one.
We talked about it a bit and he asked us what we liked about it. He pulled out some photos that inspired the original painting and he said that he could make anouther one like it. Two weeks later he called us and actually made two similar ones. We got to pick the one we liked better and he kept the other one. He also does comissions.
Hard for me as a non-​artist to describe his work. Basically oil paintings. with SF themes (trolleys, bay area views, gg bridge, down-​town buildings, Alcatraz, etc). He uses bright colors… van gough ish… kinda. Check out his website to get a better idea.
