I've just finished a couple of paintings that are all about lines. This is of the Centennial Bridge, which crosses the Missouri River at Leavenworth. One day last fall, Matthew took me on a "photo hunt." He drove me around and I had him stop so I could take pictures of things I would like to paint. When we were crossing the bridge, I just snapped away and then had him drive back and forth over it while I kept snapping. This is the one I chose to paint.
This is one of the three paintings I started a couple of weeks ago. I just wanted to try a non-objective painting that was driven by line and color.
An interesting line is captivating. Here is one of my all-time favorite line paintings. Look at the line her body makes, the line of the drapery, the cape, the wings. Wow.
