Bay Bridge #1

The Bay Bridge # 1
8" by 10"
April 6, 2008.
This is my first attempt at the Bay Bridge. It painted from a large parking lot that goes out into the Bay. I've been taking my lunch break here from time to time. On this particular day it was warm and sunny. For the most part nobody bugged me and I was free to do my work. At times I felt I went in a little to thick with this painting but I worked through it. In retrospect I think I went in thick but with the right colors and this let me keep control of the painting. I was very loose in the saddle on this one. After the painting was over I had a pleasant bike ride home along the harbor by The Giants Ball Park.
