The Filgates spent nearly twenty years living near these lovely homes in the area of San Francisco known as Sea Cliff. Leonard actually painted similar versions twice before this, so this is the third Sea Cliff painting he created. Before painting this third version, he returned to the spot in Park Presidio to take some fresh photos as reference material. Originally, his photos had been taken in the 1980s and since that time it was clear that some houses had been remodeled and the trees grew larger, partially blocking this view. *** Leonard was born and raised in San Francisco and spent most of the first 45 years of his life living and working there. You could say that the city is in his blood. In 2010, he returned to painting some scenes of San Francisco, a genre in which he had often worked back in the 1980s. The beauty of the city, especially when shrouded in fog, has long lured his artist's eye. Many of the places he painted were places he had explored on his bicycle as a young boy and later frequented as an adult.

I was born and raised in San Francisco and started my career as a fine artist, selling mainly maritime art on the streets of San Francisco in the 1970s. I eventually landed in some San Francisco and Monterey galleries. During the1970s and into the 1990s I also worked on set designs for videos, props for Hollywood, and commissioned artwork and murals. In the late 1990s, I moved my family to Carmel-by-the-Sea, California, so I could be closer to my main gallery located there. Eventually, my own RIP SQUEAK® gallery was opened with partners in Carmel. It, along with numerous other galleries under the RIP SQUEAKk® name throughout California and Hawaii, closed with the economic downturn in 2010. I am still a children's book illustrator and fine artist and have continued to create art for RIP SQUEAK® books and other titles. My most successful work to date has been based on the character RIP SQUEAK® consisting of both books and art, which I created and developed with my wife, author Susan Yost-Filgate.
