Bridge near Guildford

Oil and Cold Wax on 3mm birch ply panel

This was painted plein air at a small bridge I found in Guildford. I hoped that I would be able to paint it undisturbed, but the traffic along the footpath was unprecedented that day. I think I spent more time talking to passers by that I did painting! I concentrated on the variety of muted purple-reds and greens that complement one another and divide the composition into distinct areas of subject and background.
