James River

This painting was done from the walkway under the James River bridge.  It’s a beautiful place.  I’m going back soon and paint a series of paintings from this location.  I could paint 50 paintings under this bridge and never paint the same thing twice.  I’m guessing that the bridge is 300 yds long.  The James River is a 410 mile long river. It’s the 12th largest river in the country that remains within the boundary of a single state.  It’s in Virginia.

I was twenty minutes from finishing painting when a Vietnamese woman vacationing from her home in Germany stopped and asked if the painting was for sale.  I now have a painting in a private European collection.  Sounds great doesn’t it?
