This is one of my favorite pieces I have created yet this school year. It really shows my growth as an artist and the tie between architecture and painting. Which are two of my favorite things and very important parts of my life. When I started this painting I was very very timid about the whole thing because it is a lot going on a very detailed bridge, a lake, trees, bushes, and a railing. I was worried it might draw away attention from the architectural focus the bridge. As I painted this piece I found the surroundings of the bridge not only didn't distract from the bridge but rather enhanced it and that the environment architecture is in is almost as important as the architecture itself. This bridge flows well with the environment and I feel I capture that in this piece. As well as creating depth and yet keeping the bridge very detailed and the focus. I absolutely loved painting this piece and was very happy with my process as well as the out come.
