Morning Glory Bridge – 12″ x 16″ oils on canvas

I did something different with this one. What I did different: I paid close attention, for one. Two, I did a little more work on the initial drawing instead of just drawing in the masses only, and hoping I could finish “drawing” with paint. 🤷‍♂️

At some point recently, I must have started rushing, which was resulting in more failed works. For every painting you see here, there’s often one or two in between that need to die painfully 💀

I painted it in one long 8 hour session, which pretty much is the limit for me. Beyond that…💀

This one is off to @moabmade real soon!

Hope you’re not getting too cooked this summer, I’m well done and ready to serve.

P.S. Some people call this Morning Glory “Arch” but I’m pretty sure it’s a bridge.
