This 5x7 oil painting on stretched canvas takes us back a bit into earlier American history. Before the advent of modern day technology and automobiles, covered bridges were built in many of the rural areas of our nation. Horses and horse and buggy traffic were the common means for travel in that period and today there are still a few bridges that remain in use. Many communities have taken it upon themselves to keep the bridges in good condition and to add necessary support to accomodate modern cars. Many others have simply been destroyed or allowed to deteriorate to such an extent that they are no longer useful. Still others are open for foot traffic in park areas. They still have the power to carry us back to a simpler time and place in our nation's history. This painting is available directly from the artist. Enjoy!
