401 Blue Bridge November

This is Victoria's Blue Bridge. It is rather rusty as we are no longer maintaining it (the city plans to replace it soon). So I'm painting it to remember it.
Coincidentally, today I met a lady who called it "Johnny's Bridge", because her uncle John used to raise and lower it years ago.

I wonder if the new bridge will be as paintable.

More California Poppies, 6x6 oil on canvas board

I went down to the waterfront intending to paint the wild sweet peas but couldn't resist these poppies. It was a sunny day and they were open against the blue rock wall. It was such a lovely day. Even the poppies seemed happy.

Afternoon Garden, 11x14, acrylic on canvas

I painted this this afternoon as the sun was setting. I think I will change the background. I think a darker background will give it depth.
