Faust Street Passage

Medium: Acrylic on canvas panel
Size: 8X10 inches
Location: New Braunfels Texas

Painted on location at the Faust Street Bridge in New Braunfels, this piece draws the eye into the layered structure of the bridge—its repeating steel beams creating a tunnel-like rhythm that pulls you forward.

The strong perspective lines of the bridge are softened by the surrounding trees, their branches arching overhead and framing the scene with a natural canopy. Light filters through in patches, catching the path beneath and guiding the viewer deeper into the composition. The contrast between rigid structure and organic growth gives the painting a quiet tension—order and nature existing side by side.

Executed en plein air, the work captures both the physical presence of the bridge and the atmosphere beneath it—the stillness, the shade, and the subtle movement of light as it shifts through the structure and trees.
