in the shelter of the covered bridge – Malone Bridge

From this drawing, I have done ‘apple tree, Malone Bridge’. I think this is my personal favorite of all the paintings I have done. The painting is acrylic, 18″ X 18″, gallery edges, using Paynes Grey, Ultramarine Blue, Cadmium Yellow, Titanium White and Burnt Sienna.

Congratulations! No wonder you like it.

It’s beautiful. I responded to it at an emotional level; a feeling of thrilling warmth. Not kidding.
