from his Potrero Hill studio, San Francisco artist Bill Stanisich would lay down his brush and gaze down onto Yerba Buena Island, the Bay Bridge and surrounding water.  What he saw was ever-changing so he decided to capture on paper the various moods of mother nature. On still, clear nights, the water was a sheet of glass and Yerba Buena Island's silhouette soaked up the darkness creating a black void, while the tips of the Bay Bridge Towers emited beacons of light in the distance. When it rained, vague shadows were barely visible through the wet, dark skies.
