Jade Fon (Woo) is a California artist whose work is focused primarily around the city of San Francisco, as is the subject work. Fon began his work as a set artist for film, and worked on the production of Gone with the Wind. He was primarily a watercolorist and worked in a very quick and loose style, as was the nature of painting in watercolor in a Plein-Air setting. He enjoyed depicting scenes of regular people taking part in everyday or leisure activities. This work shows a group of figures preparing to swim at Baker Beach under the Golden Gate Bridge, a favorite subject of the artist, with a number of sailboats in the background.
