This was some practice in taking a very busy scene and uncluttering it enough to get a decent painting. I like this type of challenge when I'm painting on a small scale, it's a little painful doing it for larger pieces
Considering the awful photo I had to work from (it was just kind of a blah day when we took our tour), I'm really happy with how this one turned out. I have a little bit more confidence in my ability to imagine things, like the sunlight on this bridge for instance.
A similar painting to yesterday, except this one has me in it! I really wanted to feature this particular painting but no one would stand in front of it just right, so I had to do it myself.
