UNDER THE BRIDGE
8" x 6"

This week I am continue chronicling my stroll on the Cynwyd Heritage Trail. I noticed while I was walking that, although I was going through areas that I probably knew well from the street, I was in a completely different world here on the trail with nothing to distract me from the lovely patterns the light made on the surroundings. I believe from the map (click this link) that this is the Belmont Ave bridge, but as you can tell you certainly would never know it from this position. How easily our perceptions can be changed if we are able to look at things from a different point of view.

I really like this one a lot! The light and shadows and colors are lovely but what I like best is your explanation of how walking under the bridge changed your perspective. Getting out on foot is so much different from being in the car.
Incidentally, I just completed a painting of a similar structure. It is helpful to see how you handled the light and shadows on the cement.
Nice to hear from you Libby. I look forward to seeing your bridge!
I have an affinity for underpass scenes, not sure why, but this is a beauty. Love the reflected light/color.
I haven’t visited for a while. This is really nice. I love the light and soft colours in this painting.
Thank you A. Decker and Kim. Nice to hear from you both.
