84 F some sun, some haze,
#775 Hudson River, Troy, NY. 5-25-16 11x12
This is the Collar City Bridge, in Troy, NY. It's a draw bridge which explains it's unique shape, it's also an icon of Troy. I've wanted to paint it for some time, I got my chance today when I finished up a window job early, although the clouds were in front of the sun, I don't get down this way to paint that often.
The design comes first with large simple forms, dark and light.
I alway wonder how much I really need, and what is extraneous, what tells the story and when do I start to fuss with it, when to quit.
The Money Shot for this afternoon.
This was done on Monday, a familiar bridge.
This is the scene, one I like a lot, still not sure what happened, an off day?
