Riverwalk, Main Street Bridge
pastel
22.9 x 30.5 cm (9" x 12")


I don't particularly like this painting/drawing. I'm not quite sure what it is; perhaps it's too delicate, or too fussy, and for some reason the whiteness of the snow on the river bothers me - it seems too white and too unreal. It's almost as if Thomas Kinkade , the self-styled painter of light, somehow got inside my head and started to direct the painting.
