Bridge2
We have a friend. She's a painter. She paints a lot of abstract pieces. She also paints bridges. Her favorite bridge to paint these days is Tukey's Bridge. It's a structure that separates Casco Bay from Back Bay. It's not a long bridge. It's not a pretty bridge. Like most bridges, it's big claim to fame is that it's functional. It gets thousands and thousands cars from here to there, along 295 each day. She sets up along the banks of the bay and paints. She even has Paulie bushwhacking at times for the perfect location. He usually stays with her, because she states it's not the most secure location for a gal to be alone. This picture today is not that bridge, but another image of the Casco Bay Bridge that stretches from Portland to South Portland.
At first I thought, what is she up to?
Are there no other subjects out there to paint?
But I'm having second thoughts.
The structures are intriguing.
The curved and vertical lines and the horizontal lines between the tracks really are the focus of this photo.
ReplyDeleteYour photo has given it an artsy look! I can see painting it.
ReplyDeleteyou love what you love. :)
ReplyDeleteFunction over beauty. :0
ReplyDeleteSometimes the ordinary hides the beauty.
I like your image and can see it as a good painting subject!
ReplyDeleteIn this case, the use of lines really makes the image transcend the ordinary.
ReplyDeleteGreat lines! And are those Belgian Blocks paving the road???? Wow!

Nice composition there Birdman.
ReplyDeleteHmm. Intriguing, that interest in the bridge(s) and what makes them--as opposed to something else-- appeal to your painter friend. Hmm.
ReplyDeleteShe doesn't need to paint this bridge. It has already been painted.
