| Wooden Wonder - Powder Point Bridge |
Red sky at night, sailors' delight...
It's not quite red but the thick overcast was giving way to clearer skies, and setting sun was catching the underside of the cloud bank at the Powder Point Bridge. This marvelous bridge is special to many on the South Shore of Massachusetts. It's unique length and structure has made it into documentaries and movies over the years, and of course, it is a favorite of photographers and painters.
The bridge is, in fact, the longest wooden bridge in the United States at 2,200 feet. When the original bridge was built in 1892 it subtracted seven hours of travel from the trip from Duxbury Center to the Gurnet which is at the furthest tip of Duxbury Beach. The bridge has been a topic in this blog several times if you'd like to know more and see my past paintings of it.
This painting is large at 18x36 which makes it the perfect living room piece for "over the couch."
