Rosita's Bridge, San Antonio (Small Study)


A friend of mine recently started watercolor painting and had painted a picture of Rosita's Bridge on the Riverwalk at LaVillita in San Antonio. This reminded me that I had a file of reference photos of my own trips to San Antonio and I was inspired to do this small study. In the past, I've walked by this area which features a stage on the right side and outside seating on the left (not seen here).

If you continue up and to the left you can visit a very charming shopping and arts area known as La Villita Historic Arts Village which pays homage to San Antonio's first established neighborhood. We happened upon it during our last trip and were pleasantly surprised at all the quaint shops and welcoming shopowners combined with some wonderful San Antonio history.
