Honestly, I've pastelled this bridge a have dozen times and I'm always disappointed. Guess I'll keep trying.

Dianne...LOVE the trees, too!
Dianne, just like Sue pointed out, Your problem with painting of this bridge(at list with this particular painting) is: You trying to paint a bridge, but during the process You getting in affair with those trees.
Beautiful work on trees, but You hardly can have two main players in the same painting - one is always going to loose.
If You will cover most of the bridge up with piece of paper and leave just the right side of the painting shown, you will get absolutely stunning piece of art work. But no, it will be NOT about the bridge.
Just saying... very beautiful painting, I just would crop it differently to turn it into perfect painting. No offense... Just trying to help a bit.
Cool, yes, I did have an affair with the trees! How funny!
Perhaps try painting the bridge without much attention to the surrounding area -- might work out better, as you say. Or maybe I could just sort of shove this bridge into the creek and make it about the trees! ;) Thanks so much for thoughtful comments!
