While staying in southern Virginia near the Eastern Shore many years ago, I would often visit Quimby Bridge especially in the evening to watch the sun set over the water. This view was one of many that I chose to paint working mostly in watercolor for initial sketches. Larger works were then composed, done in both watercolor and oil - my largest 30 x 40 inches. I can't say for sure that all these were as successful as I would have liked but were an important past of my artistic development. These works set the basis for a number of similar painting using color and mood. The idea of which I am still working on today. This watercolor is 11 x 14 in (28 x 36 cm).
