I like it, Char. Your interpretation captures the immediate visual impression of a concrete bridge of that era--and the "colorless" color of concrete as it ages and weathers--it seems to "mute" light, rather than reflect it. Almost sepia, but not so yellow.

Outside Boise, Arrowrock Dam (1911) is constructed of just such materials. When I saw your painting, I was reminded of it.

Best,

George

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Well, only the, "I like it." part.

Thanks for sharing.
