A realist painter is trying to keep it real. San Franciscan John Hood told Bay Area Innovators host Steve Ispas how he has dedicated his life to improving his art skills and keeping realism alive.

Hood recalled that when he was young, his mother told him he could be anything he wanted to be, and he believed that. Hood trained as an architect and worked in San Francisco for 40 years. He also made cards and Valentine’s gifts for his wife and three daughters, and others marveled at his artwork.
