Some may recognize this painting…but it’s new! I painted a small version, 6×12, several months ago for my miniature show, and posted it on Facebook. It’s also part of the logo picture above. I liked the mood and composition, so decided to do a larger, 15×30 version. Other than adding more detail, and a little more color to the bridge, the paintings are essentially the same.<\/p>\n

\nThere are eight beautiful and historic stone bridges in Yosemite Valley<\/a>, most of them spanning the Merced River. This is the Clark Bridge, just after a snow storm. The Clark Bridge was built in 1928 with a span of 75.5 ft (23 m) over the Merced River and right by the Upper and Lower Pines campgrounds, where I have camped dozens of times over the decades.<\/p>\n
\nHere is the small version, 6×12, oil on canvas. This version is currently available at James Harold Galleries<\/a> in Tahoe City, CA.<\/p>\n
