As you go over the Newport Bridge towards the island of Jamestown, RI, if you look to the left you will see, perched on a tiny island of rocks, this beautiful house. It is, in good weather, surrounded by sailboats, with the lights of the bridge (the Pell Bridge is the actual name, although I've never heard anyone call it anything but the Newport Bridge) serenading it in the evening. I imagine living there, with no car to pop into to run errands, being isolated and surrounded on every side by views of the water, Jamestown, the West Bay, and Aquidneck Island (Newport +). I took this shot on a hazy day - everything was kind of blue - it was hot AND overcast. What I enjoyed were the close values, with the hulking house dark and dominating the scene. The challenges of painting architecture are exciting to me. I don't know why I don't do it more!
