8" x 10" Oil on Canvas Board
This is another Plein Air oil completed on-site just prior to dark in September. The light was changing fast due to the time of day and squall line of a cold front moving in to block the setting sun behind me. I was hoping for the sun to pop out under the clouds and light up the bridge against the darkening sky. Its funny what you remember when painting outside. Looking at this reminds me of that night and my hopes to capture a "perfect moment". I had a young couple stop to look at my progress on this. They had just been married and had their ceremony on this site a few weeks prior. The bride had wanted a professional photo of this spot but decided against it. She expressed interest in having a painting of this site to hang up at home. I didn't try to hard to pursue this opportunity - wasn't sure this one was going to turn out at the time - I had only just started and the light was running out quickly.
