The Chinese Bridge at Staunton Park

[Arnie]

I’ve painted this bridge in a local park many times now, although this is the first in oil pastels.
Using more violet to make it more interesting.
C&C Appreciated. Thanks for looking. Arnie

Nice! you used the texture of the paper to good effect on the trees.

Beautiful colors, I like the shifting of purple on the left to yellow on the right.

Beautifully bright and colorful without being gaudy.

This is so beautiful, Arnie! I like the violet/yellow interactions very much!

 

[Triduana]

Beautiful scene and I love the use of the violet, it works so well alongside the yellow tree.

 

[Terri]

Lovely! The added violet is a plus for me. Wonderful handling of the oil pastels, and this is a beautiful scene, beautifully rendered.

 

[Artyczar]

Wow! This is really stunning. I love the colors. It's like a stippled Monet.

Thanks Lamar, Zen, snoball, Donna, Kay, Terri, and Ayin - much appreciated. I got my colour wheel out for this before settling for the Yellow, Yellow Green, Red violet split complementary colours. Have to use it again! Thanks Arnie
