View from Red Bud Isle

View from Red Bud Isle, 8 x 10

SOLD

This was painted all on-site last Saturday morning at our Plein Air Austin paint-out at a beautiful municipal dog park on Red Bud Isle in the middle of upper Ladybird Lake. I've been across the bridge that passes the isle hundreds of times, but had never stopped. Downtown Austin is a little over a mile downstream around this bend. This was painted relatively quickly (for me), as we got a late start due to the line of cars waiting to get in. Including set-up and packing up afterward, it took a little over two hours.

This morning the Plein Air Austin paintout was downtown at the Lamar Blvd. footbridge. My vantage point was from the Town Lake jogging trail underneath the Lamar Bridge. The footbridge is about ten years old now and is a great addition to downtown. It has a beautifully unique design somewhat resembling the intertwined ends of a shoelace (not apparent from this angle). Its wide promenade with benches and shrubs is popular among locals and tourists, alike.
