Today's painting is another "plein air" piece painted on location along the river walk downtown. The Henley Street Bridge is undergoing a three year re-furbishing, and its quite interesting to watch  and paint the different stages of de-construction and now new construction.  The painting was created in the rain and with a jack-hammer screaming above my head, not that it makes a difference but it is the adventure of it all.
