From the Artist: "This is my second painting; you were kind enough to give me some guidance on my first work Desk Top and I would appreciate the same for this painting. I chose the subject as I used to be able to see the bridge from my house when I lived in England and it brings back some good memories (also I had a photo to use for the painting). The bridge looks to be in a halo framed by the sunset (which is honestly how it really was), however this looks a little unatural to me, not having any sunset going behind the bridge. Would you have gone with reality like I did, or with artistic licence and put sunset behind the bridge? Also would the addition of vehicles have helped the painting in your opinion, there were none in reality. I find it very hard to judge my paintings merits or otherwise objectively as I am just so pleased to have a result. I need objective opinion and pointers please."
