I was busy before breakfast...







in progress even before the sun was all the way up..
   


Finished between breakfast and peanut butter...


This is the trophy art-deco late '20's bridge designed by the famous Wallace Neff [he built most of the hot stuff in Santa Barbara] and it is simple, elegant and still there.  The not-to-early sunlight is beautiful.  Not to far away you can hear the commuters racing to LA to work on Malibu Canyon highway.  Some of them find this place on the weekends.  This was done both on-location en plain air as well as from a photo i took while I was painting on the property with the local Allied-Artist group.  They are having a show/sale there in November and I thought i should have a few done on the spot.  6x8 - acrylic.  Truth is that under the bridge is green slime so thick the leaves fall on it like they would on solid ice.  I changed that.
