When I did my post on the Maxfield Parrish mural in New York City's King Cole Bar, I was alerted to another Parrish mural located inside the San Francisco Palace Hotel. Needless to say, on my most recent trip to SF, it went to the top of my "must see" list.

The place was pretty empty for lunch, so I grabbed a seat at the bar, front and center.

Yup...Maxfield Parrish!

His use of light is positively amazing; the painting just glows as if rays of sunshine were beaming down into the bar.

FYI: The burger at the Pied Piper lived up to the hype.

After I dined, I wandered around the hotel. The Garden Court area pretty much took my breath away.
