Bridge in Passing Rain

Medium: Acrylic on canvas panel
Size: 8X10 inches
Location: Llano Texas
Year: 2024

Painted en plein air in Llano, Texas, this piece captures a small bridge mid-storm—finished while the rain moved through. Water droplets landed directly on the surface, leaving subtle marks that became part of the final painting.

Loose, quick brushwork defines the structure and surrounding greens, while the softened background and rain-touched areas add atmosphere that couldn’t be planned. The result is a record of both the place and the conditions—where the weather didn’t interrupt the process, it joined it.
