This is a small pastel on pastel paper depicting the old wooden bridge at Cathedral Park.
It was my first detailed pastel and it was completed both from an image, and from visits to this nearby public place of the Episcopal Diocese of South Texas.
This is a spiritual place for many people and it has been for a very long time -- since the Native Americans camped nearby as they hunted buffalo crossing just north of this place. It crosses the Torcido Springs which are the headwaters of the San Antonio River. The view is to the east. Up the hill is the columbarium that I have reserved. This bridge to me represents life and learning.
