the Colorado Street bridge


I went out with John Kilduff yesterday after Let's Paint TV to paint the Colorado Street bridge . It's such a classic motif that has been painted over and over which makes it a challenge to take over it's 'landmark' status and make a unique piece out of it... also, a lot of times the paintings I see wind up becoming a tedious lesson in perspective that never seems to capture of light and scope of it all. So I really tried to go nuts on this one and as John said "go for the juglar." I had fun with it, another nice horizontal composition. oil on canvas, 18 by 36
