Boone Park Bridge


Oil on linen panel 10x8

Painted en plein air this morning at Boone Park. I have not retouched or added to this piece in the studio. Picture shows some sky-reflection, but it's the best I have at this time.

Analysis
  • Used #4 & #6 flat synthetic bristle brushes - larger than I usually use
  • Liquin is very thixatrophic - need to be aware of that - can thin to washes unexpectedly
  • Working quickly w/o a drawing on canvas - the result somewhat "Cezanne -esque"

Elements to consider - Exuberance of the act of painting in this piece trumped the need for detail and correction of color or composition once the original composition was established.
