Alcatraz is famous, because it was a prison.

A wonderful way to share your visit to the Alcatraz lighthouse is to give them watercolors of it. The most popular gift to offer to your friends and family is a watercolor of this famous site. The most famous inmate at Alcatraz was Al Capone, the notorious Chicago gangster of the 30’s.

In recent years since the closing of the prison, Alcatraz Island has become a tourist site and many of the inner prison cells have been open to the public to see first hand what it was actually like in the jail.

On the island is also a US military base that make the island safe and secure. There have been plans to build hotels and even resorts on the island as it is in a wonderful location in the middle of San Francisco Bay.

Condren Galleries Ltd., is a Fine Arts Gallery specializing in landscapes, portraiture, skylines, architectural renderings, figure drawings, and paintings. The focus of my work has been in pen & ink drawings and watercolors. Pen & inks have been a long time favorite for me as I very much enjoy working shade and shadows with cross hatching ink lines. However, I have a strong background in oil painting which is clearly reflected in my landscape oils.
