Bay Bridge from Potrero Hill-- a layered perspective with close up homes, city, bridge, and East Bay hills way off in the distance. My favorite part is where the sun hits that white house in just a few little places. 2023.

Buena Vista Palms-- one of the coolest views in the city, and daunting to paint. 2024.

Susie's Place from Alamo Square - I looked it up and found out about Susie Tomkins Buell, who bought the penthouse of this building and is known for democratic party fundraisers. Her daughter bought the painting on the second slide as a gift for her, so that's in her private collection.

Streetcar turning at Noe, another appearance of a @sfmsr streetcar in one of my paintings! They enchant me. This is from 2023.

Looking down Judah all the way to the ocean, from UCSF Parnassus. If you get lucky and it isn't too windy, you can paint from the back deck of the building and get amazing views in every direction. 2023.

I've often been attracted to a view that looks down the middle of a street over the years. This is Pierce from Alta Plaza Park, from 2023.

The William-Westerfeld House! It sits on the opposite corner of Alamo Square Park from the painted ladies, and has a storied and fascinating history. In this painting I started to figure out how to simplify Victorian architecture, and I also love these palm trees.

San Francisco homes-- this was painted Plein Air from just outside of @analog.gallery.sf during my first group exhibit with them! This one was a breakthrough moment on cast shadow composition for me.

Nathaniel J. Bice @njbice.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

This is the John Spencer house, at the corner of Haight and Baker. I believe it was a bed and breakfast at some point, but as far as I know it's been all closed up for a while. It has a great moody look for a foggy day. 2022.

Nathaniel J. Bice @njbice.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

A couple of houses along the panhandle! Painted in 2022. I'm preparing for some exciting long term projects soon to be announced, so in the meantime I'm revisiting some old work!

Nathaniel J. Bice @njbice.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

Deep diving into the archives- my only paintings of the Painted Ladies, for a commission. The first one was lost in the mail, so I had to do it again, which was tragic. 2022. This spot may be most famous for Full House, but I'll always think of Invasion of the Body Snatchers when I pass by.

A beautiful house in my neighborhood, a rare single story Victorian. That's a blossoming plum tree in front of it. This painting is only 2"x3", from back when I was doing a lot of tiny paintings. Gouache, 2022.

The final twirls under the limelight of an oasis nestled amongst the “innovators” at the cutting-edge of society’s descent into techno fascism. There’s certainly beauty in the darkness, but damn it would be nice if the scales were tipped the other way

Clarke's Folly-- the first time I saw this house it stopped me in my tracks. Look it up, it has a fun history. Now it's split into apartments, which I think is so cool. This painting is from 2021.

Nathaniel J. Bice @njbice.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

This is another old one, from the days of watercolor on paper. I've been intrigued with San Francisco's Victorian architecture ever since I got here.

Nathaniel J. Bice @njbice.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

More Conservatory of Flowers for you, as promised! First from 2023, then 2025, and finally May of this year. A huge shift in thinking from my urban sketching roots, really going for simplification, value, light and shadow, big shapes. Then slowly adding complexity back in, but in a different way.

070

Nathaniel J. Bice @njbice.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

Going all the way back to 2020 for these Conservatory of Flowers pieces. Both watercolor on paper, before I transitioned to painting gouache on panel. Tomorrow I'll post some newer pieces and we can see how things have changed!

MUNI Bus Stop-- for transit month! I love the iconic wavy MUNI bus shelters. This was based on a photo reference that I came back to a year later, from when I was working on the 50 Views from Fulton series. So this is somewhere on Fulton along the edge of Golden Gate Park, probably in the 30's.

Nathaniel J. Bice @njbice.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

Another one for transit month! "BART Sunlight" gouache on panel, 8"x8". This is from 2024-- a big difference from the 2022 BART interior. This piece is still available!

Nathaniel J. Bice @njbice.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Transit interiors! A series I painted back in 2022. Happy transit month, Bay Area!

0202

Nathaniel J. Bice @njbice.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

Since I'm going back into the archives, here's the painting that inspired the entire Views From Fulton series! I found this spot at 20th Avenue, but I realized that you could get a similar but slightly different view/painting at each Avenue.

More Zine stuff! Here are some zines that I will have available on Sunday at San Francisco Zine Fest! If you love SF and the Bay Area and public transit, these zines are for you. Hibernia Bank, 9/6, 11am-5pm, The SpookyHaus booth A19-20

Seriously, don’t watch the fucking show. Don’t review it or recap it. Don’t give it the fucking time of day. This isn’t like “Aw, okay, well, don’t do it next time!” This is like, “We are no longer friends.”

Two years ago I painted 50 Plein Air paintings in 50 days, and now they are a book! These will be debuted at SF Zine Fest this Sunday, September 6th at Hibernia Bank from 11am-5pm! Find me at the SpookyHaus booth (A19-20) and get your copy! Thanks to Dawn Carlos for the design of the book!

Sutro Tower from Potrero hill. From this spot it feels like you could roll down and then up and fly all the way to that distant hill. I'm preparing for some exciting long term projects soon to be announced, so in the meantime I'm revisiting some old work!

While we are on old work and Sutro Tower, here's my first ever linocut print! I still love this one. The following slide is my more recent and more complex version, which I also love in it's own way. Which do you prefer?

050

Nathaniel J. Bice @njbice.bsky.social · 27/08/2026

I love it when you are not even in San Francisco and you can still see Sutro Tower watching over everything. The first one is from Tiburon and the second is from Angel Island. Both sold.

062

Nathaniel J. Bice @njbice.bsky.social · 24/08/2026

Sutro Tower! First one is from June 2023 and you can see the Pink Triangle on twin peaks from the side angle. Second one is from 2025, two years later.

Molinari, from a recent paint out with Mila Kirillova in North Beach! We went to Cafe Trieste, of course, and ended up standing just outside and facing different directions. I was attracted to the stripes awning and shadows from the building.

Nathaniel J. Bice @njbice.bsky.social · 31/05/2026

Union and Leavenworth with Danny Folkman from right before the workshop! If you look carefully, you can see the top of Saints Peter and Paul Church poking up right under Coit Tower. Mt. Diablo is just barely visible over to the right.

Join us at San Fransycho in the inner sunset for a small exhibition of original paintings! Paintings are so much better in person than on your phone screen, so swing by the shop in the month of June to see them, or join us on Sunday, June 7 for an afternoon opening reception from noon to 3pm.

Paintings from a workshop with Danny Folkman in Point Reyes Station and Nicasio! It was great to explore a new approach to my favorite medium and learn from an amazing artist.

Nathaniel J. Bice @njbice.bsky.social · 19/05/2026

Ashbury from the panhandle! I've always loved that house in the left of the painting, so that inspired this composition. Look carefully for the bus up the hill.

NEW PERSONAL WORK I had a dream I was drawing thumbnails, and - in the dream - sketched this out and titled it "The Dreamer". That was striking enough that I woke up, sketched out the thumbnail in real life, and then sat on it for like eight years. Until now!
