About “Crossing Over”

The interest of this painting was a rickety old wooden bridge which had to be crossed to reach the farm house. This was one of my “Frankenstein” paintings. The river and the rickety bridge wasn’t really there but I felt like the painting needed something else, so I added it in. At first, I didn’t like the way the bridge was coming out so I worked on it and worked on it until I got it right. You can never just change one thing in a painting though. Every time I changed the bridge I had to adjust other things around it to make it fit in. I added foliage or a little something here and there in order to balance it out. Overall, this painting, was well worth the exploration.
