"Viaduct Bridge", 18 x 18 inches, oil on canvas. This is another spot along the LA River, when I started this painting, I considered adding all of the graffiti that was on the bridge... it had quite a bit. But I liked it better in this "cleaned up" version.

Why a duck? I can never get these bridges right, to much hard stuff to draw or something.
Repeating shapes like arches and support columns in perspective are challenging, easy to mess up. I guess I've just done a million of them over the years. It takes the same precision to do proper lettering in a painting too.
And to think... I HATED those classes at Art Center (perspective and letterform).
Hey Tony we should go paint there on location - could hire my friend George to be bodyguard.
Looks great, always like these bridge pieces -
Hey Eric,
I'm up to painting around the LA River, hopefully we won't get mugged or thrown out by railroad security :-)
I'll be painting quite a few new bridge pieces, I've currently got some in the works.
Just pay off security. Whatever u give em is probably more than they get anyway.
This is just sharp & clean. I wish you could use the Peters Method to clean up all our graffiti!
Hey Cafe Observer,
In all of my adventures on "Photo Safari" around the country, I rarely have an occasion without a run-in with security guards. They are creativity's arch-nemesis!
You still conveyed something "unclean" in there...with the paint handling under that arch, one gets the idea of it not being pristine.
The library/reading pic looks exciting, esp. the shadow work you have going on in it...
Thanks Hattermad, much appreciated!
