goodbye, old friend

the bridge in this painting is out back from my parents house, on the MKT trail.  It's been there for many years, and this year it's being replaced.  So, as my first landscape that's done without help from a tutorial, I chose to take this bridge and make it my model.  Here's the result:




It's a little rougher than my last work (a riverscape), but there were some challenges that were neat to attempt.  The bridge itself has two sides to it, so painting the beams side by side was tough.  Also, because it's winter, the colors are all a little muddy, which is true to life.
