Christopher Lane (American,1937)
This oil on canvas painting by Christopher Lane is very similar to one of his larger paintings that was displayed at the the San Francisco International Airport titled "Night Passage" (where the sun is in the top corner). In this one the sun seems to be rising from the bottom corner. This painting is signed on the back Christopher Lane S.F. and dated October 1977.
