BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATER

Some design problems need to be worked out. 

So I made some sketches.

- direction of the light coming from the eye:

influences the direction of the bridge

- bridge: straight, or going in a bend?
- with both sketches, the viewer's eye goes 
away from the focus  (not good!)

- with this direction of light,
the pillar on the bridge pulls the eye, 
the bridge and the water together

- choppy water, something new to paint !

-a fiery, yet stormy sky

-still to do: painting the supports of the pillar 
to the bridge

- will do when I get the painting back home!
