Tompkins Avenue Bridge - Day 2

Finally started to work on this a little more in the studio. I worked for about 45 minutes today -- I'm starting to bring in some deeper darks into the left side.

Tompkins Avenue Bridge - Plein Air - Day 1
bco
I walked down to the Mamaroneck River again, sat somewhere else, and painted the bridge on Tompkins Avenue. I worked on this for about an hour before I was chased away by BEES! D: I really, really dislike bees. I took a photo and will continue this in my studio, which is completely bee free.
As you can see, I spent the most time on the water...most of it is still pretty sketchy:
Mamaroneck River - Plein Air
bco
I walked down to the Mamaroneck River and did a quick plein air painting today. It was a little awkward trying to juggle things without an easel (I have a fractured wrist, so I can't manipulate anything with my left hand), but it was still a lot of fun! It quickly reminded me how very rusty I am at plein air painting, but that is something that is only fixed with practice. So...I will do this some more very soon. I.e., tomorrow. (Although I also do need to finish that poor neglected Twisted Pine painting at some point.)
This was just over an hour of work -- nothing too involved. Got a basic layout down. Not too happy with the value pattern in the foreground; if I ever do anything else with this, I'll fix it. Otherwise it will hang out in my sketchbook.
