This is an extreme view of one of the counterweights in the West Salem Bridge towers. The bridge is no longer a working drawbridge, but the massive counterweights remain in the towers, hanging over the pedestrian way.

I painted the tower entirely in combinations of Prussian blue and burnt sienna mixed on the paper. The sky is indanthrene blue wet into wet.
