The bridge in Yosemite in the photo supplied by my good friend and excellent photographer Rich Steip has been depicted many times. I experimented with color to make the scene come alive and simplified some of the landscape. I did keep the shadow references much as they were in the original photo. Viewers so far have like the depiction of the water; I put my initial effort into many layers of paint to give the water the right look. I made the redwood tree on the left have personality and hit on a way to show some of the rocks covered by water. I possibly could have further decreased the number of rocks on both sides of the river but everything in the composition points to or emphasizes or contains the water.
