As I tried to get back into the routine of studio work this week, I started by clearing out the clutter,  vacuuming the floor, and putting fresh plastic covers on my work surfaces.  To find inspiration, I mined my studio notebook for the last year or so, and returned to a series of paintings of the Gervais Street Bridge I started back in the autumn of 2015.  This piece is based on a view of the riverwalk before the big flood.  It combines my favorite elements of natural forms, architecture, and a bold palette.  One of the many advantages of working in a series is that familiarity with subject matter and materials makes it easier to find a starting point of new work.
