Painting on Board by Brian Sindler: Steel Bridge, Framed

A nighttime building glows through one doorway and a few dim lamps

This painting on board is by Steel Bridge, and is dated 2015. It is oil on board. His working method begins with sketching, sometimes as many as a hundred on a first visit outdoors, from which he picks only a handful to develop into finished paintings. Wet reflections shimmer on the ground. A wide, ebonized frame surrounds it. It is 17 inches wide and 20 high.

One lit door, and all the night's attention goes to it.
