O'Connell bridge

 I was trying to remember when this painting was done.  Sometime the last week or two of June, as it was before "South wetlands". So it was late in June.   I had been thinking that something like this would be interesting, and I had been by here a few days before this.  It was a nice hot day with little breeze and little cloud cover too.  This is less than two miles from home by bicycle and so late afternoon I was able to make it to the spot. I liked the relationship of all the elements together. The bridge, the truck and the cranes sitting on either side of the bridge with their booms aloft. The 2 warning signs on the ends of the vintage bridge framing the new construction....                                 This 11" x 15" was painted directly over a pencil sketch in a Strathmore 140lb watercolor pad.  That is a nice way for me to work.  Gives the spontaneity of a drawing while doing most of the color work in the studio.  Below is a detail of some of the equipment.
