I’ve not been to Budapest. I’ve not been to a lot of places, but that’s neither here nor there. Actually, I suppose those places are the very definition of “there,” but that’s not my point.

 

This painting is of the Chain Bridge at night. The Chain Bridge straddles the Danube, connecting Buda and Pest in Hungary. I’m sure it’s quite stunning, as photos are just lovely. And it was a photo of this bridge – a photo taken by Mister’s Daddy – that inspired the above painting. I fell in love with the pic as soon as I saw it and knew I wanted to paint it. As always, I took some poetic license in its portrayal.

 

You’d think these simple paintings would be the easiest. Well they’re not. I struggled with this one, and I learned a lot in the process. All in all, I’m quite happy with the results. The painting makes me want to travel. It makes me want to take more photographs. And it makes me want goulash. Go figure.
