I think it's my favorite. A lot of mood and metaphor tucked into it. Your bridge pieces are dynamite too. Looking forward to checking back.

I feel like the subject lends itself well to this particular palette and technique.

The perspective was done really well, too. I like how your eyes hanglide across the yard, over the bridge, and to the faded buildings much further away. Very cool.BoneDaddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09437803589702920162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23600407.post-68166776149717469872007-07-22T14:39:00.000-07:002007-07-22T14:39:00.000-07:00Thanks Bill.

Currently I have about ten Los Angeles paintings in the works, all at different stages of completion (including some very big ones). But I'd say that I spent around four sittings to complete this piece. <BR/><BR/>I have a couple other new paintings finished this week, but didn't want to post them all at once.tonypetersarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15251577619044059658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23600407.post-60926942836244078562007-07-21T02:18:00.000-07:002007-07-21T02:18:00.000-07:00Wow!
