That is another Oak Grove Bridge oil painting in progress, but there is a character limit on the title.

This is the 24×30″ painting, also without a deadline. It has the same goal as the 11×14″ painting: make it the best possible no matter how long it takes.

Instead of figuring out the exact size and shapes as I paint, I first drew this on the canvas, using a pencil, ruler, calculator and straight edge. Painting this is hard enough without bumbling along with the proportions.

Very little difference between this and the previous photo, but after studying it awhile, I saw a slight addition. Can you?

Have I done anything new besides move the photo?? It looks less squishy than the first version. I worked on the bridge. That’s me – civil engineer with a paint brush.

This is going to take a very long time. It is a little bit above my ability. The overly bright colors are fun, and may influence the final painting. They are a way to get layers and shapes on canvas while using up paint from my palette.
