I wanted to paint this bridge for sometime but from a perspective that was different than what most other artists have done of the structure. Late one afternoon I went and stood underneath the bridge and saw it from a place that others traveling over the bridge or observing it at a distant never see. The design, mass and height of the bridge stood out as quite remarkable. I lingered until twilight until the lights on the bridge came on and the water flowing in front of me was dark. At that moment I found the perspective that had eluded me.
