Footbridge at Gemini, sequence of 3 stages of bridge in a tropical setting by Judy Batterson

This is the second sequence in a series of three photos of the layers in this painting. After the background layers, the middle ground is painted which is the footbridge over the springs. This beautiful park, Gemini Springs, is located near DeLand, FL. There
are several footbridges where you can stand and look into the clear water bubbling up from the springs. Like Monet's bridge at Giverny, this is a picturesque landscape but with a tropical twist. www.judybatterson.com

Footbridge at Gemini, sequence of 3 stages of bridge in a tropical setting by Judy Batterson

This is the first photo in a sequence of three showing the layering of this painting. The location is Gemini Springs near DeLand, Florida. This beautiful park is filled with towering oaks, pines, palms and clear bubbling springs. When I saw the footbridge, I thought of a "tropical Monet" painting. This first photo shows about seven painting layers used to create the lush background and
the foundation of the water. I think I used every brush I own to paint the various vegetation. The colors are true to life. Next,
the bridge will be painted. www.judybatterson.com
