Osborne Bridge, Evening
oil
16.5 x 30.5 cm (6.5" x 12")

Originally, this painting was larger, 9" by 12" instead of 6.5" by 12". I cut the painting down just before posting it. You can see what was lost by comparing the painting with the study for it, which was posted on Friday, December 7th. While the study looks fine the size it is, I found the extra foreground in the painting added nothing. Instead it was a distraction, in part because it wasn't painted quite as well as the rest of the painting, and in part because the extra black just seemed too much.

I'm saying a prayer to the X-Acto knife gods.

(The study has been reposted directly below the painting, so that they can be easily compared.)
