Painting Acrylic on Canvas by Brian Sindler: Steel Bridge 2, Framed

A bridge keeps its lamps lit for nobody in particular.

Steel Bridge 2 is a framed painting by Brian Sindler in acrylic on canvas. Steel truss bridges, with their triangulated frames, have drawn painters of the city since industrial towns first grew up along their rivers. Here the dark truss rises at the left and recedes into a teal haze, its upper triangles caught against the sky. Three small lamps glow along its flank, and a pale tower gleams further back. The water below takes only a faint reflection. It is 8 inches wide and 10 high.

Iron has seldom looked this pensive.
