I've seen that bridge before!

I love the style of this piece very much.

And I've painted it too many times before too! LOL
My joke with the group, painting at Point Cavallo an old fort just beside the Marin (North) side of the Bridge, was that there was a prize for finding something else to paint. Skip the bridge. Only 3 people were able to do that. The rest of us fell into the usual trap.

Bart, your painting is stunning! Composition looks to me a winner composition and also, what I mean with that is that it must have been hard on location to get designed a strong composition like this. The bridge is quite large and tall structure and the painting support is so small compared to the bridge, not an easy painting to do. All other interesting elements around the bridge in your painting are nicely supporting the main figure in your painting. This is very good!
Greetings, Grapes (earlier mosc.)

Well, thanks Mosc/Grapes. Are you changing on the wine list too? ;=)
The only thing that was hard in that location was to avoid painting that bridge...

Wine is the same

Great work. I think it would be hard to choose another subject to paint if I was there. My painting instructor used to say, don’t paint the postcard. But that is one heck of a postcard. Red against your sky just works.

Thanks. The bridge really is that reddish color, BTW.
