This is a small close-up study of a train bridge over the Los Angeles River. I love the submarine-like shape of its foundation.

I will at some point paint one or more larger versions of this bridge.
Doing studies helps familiarize myself with the complicated structure of this bridge which crosses the river at an angle instead of at 90 degrees. That means there are more angles to work out the perspective of, in fact hardly any 90 degree angles at all.258

  1. Hello David! Finally found some time to check out your blog and your wonderful art! Love this train bridge! Love the 'submarine" like base. Glad you pointed that out! I love, love the rust! I think rust is so beautiful. I am always happy to see the "royal rust" is much of your fine art! Great!
    Take care David!
