Rower under the Bridge

I visited Florence, Italy in the summer of 2004, and decided to do this painting in response to how easy it was to find inspiration in the simplest things - scenes which are probably commonplace to the people that live there. I also toyed with the concept of "dualism," which is expressed by the chaotic splattering of paint on the bridge in contrast to the calmness of the river in which the man is rowing.
