1048-R Across the Zig Zag Bridge


 You are correct if you think this looks familiar to you.  I originally painted it a few months ago, but wasn't completely happy with it.  The flowers were too big for the scene, and when you look at something long enough, sometimes you figure out the problem.  Working from photos, while very enjoyable to me, presents the tendency to get too detailed without painting the essence of a scene.  The inclination is to paint every detail,  but Chicago painter and teacher extraordinaire, Steve Puttrich reminds us that " it's a poem, not a police report, !"
