Ambassador Bridge Take Two

Ambassador Bridge from the Detroit River, 2010



The first version of this painting (16x20”) was well received at my August Abstract Cities show. It was snapped up from a non-Detroiter and was one of the most popular pieces. I felt compelled to make another that provided a wider view of the bridge as I remember it from boating on the Detroit River. This version, (15x30”) took a few months to complete. Around this time, I was watching an episode of Detroit 187 and the Ambassador Bridge was shown; it was so exciting for me. I LOVE Detroit and this is not the last painting of my city.
