Inspired by a symbol of Cincinnati and the centerpiece of Fountain Square, The Genius of Water. The bold strokes of color bring highlight the raw materials used in crafting this sculpture from the bronze cast to the green granite base in which the sculpture rests.

Here’s another painting inspired by the beautiful Cincinnati Skyline. This 24″ x 36″ acrylic on canvas painting of the historic John A. Roebling Suspension Bridge, titled Golden Evening Suspension. This painting showcases the strong foundation and vivid structure of this iconic Cincinnati landmark. The perspective for this piece is from Covington, Kentucky, so you’ll notice a small section of the Cincinnati skyline on the opposite side of the bridge.
At night, this bridge has the most beautiful gold color reflecting into the water and just bouncing from ripple to ripple. I don’t think I’ll ever stop painting this Cincinnati icon.
This particular painting is extra special to me. So special in fact, that 8 canvas prints were made of this piece so I could give them as gifts to the groomsmen in my wedding.
