Bridge Over a Flooded City in Oil Painting

An oil painting of a sturdy stone bridge spanning a flooded city at dusk. The water has risen to street level, surrounding the bridge piers with glassy reflections of warm yellow-orange street lamps and illuminated windows. The palette is cool blues and grays with warm amber highlights. Thick impasto brushwork emphasizes textured clouds, rain, and rippling water. The perspective is from the water’s surface, slightly upturned toward the far end of the bridge as the city recedes into a misty haze. A melancholic yet resilient mood pervades, suggesting the city endures the flood. Optional details: a small boat bobbing near the bank, submerged street signs just peeking through the water, distant skyline softened by fog.
