Stately Arrival, 6 x 8
I painted this study today, simultaneously with another that I will post tomorrow. In an effort to loosen up and focus more clearly on the shapes and values, I painted each upside down, until the last stage of adding a few defining touches. I've done this exercise a couple of times now, and I find it a lot of fun. I took the reference photo for this one on a trip last summer to Ohio. This is the new main bridge into downtown Malvern, about twenty miles east of Canton.

I guess the upside down study really works. I like the looseness of this one, and all the values seem right on. Great composition too!
That's got to be a challenge! I'm impressed and will have to try it. I love the composition of this one.
Turned out great. I'm going to try it but I'm not so sure my mind can handle change.
