Painting Description

I realize that sadly it will be only a few years until this elegant skeletal bridge will be dismantled and replaced by a concrete model that more resembles a bunker spanning the river. Endangered by rust and rulings, this once elegant long-lined thoroughbred now straddles the water with more grit than grace. A crossing shows the structure to be arthritic, emitting a tuberculean rumble from her decking as cars cautiously proceed. I have tried to paint my version of so many of these creatures from the early nineteen hundreds. Their days are numbered and so are mine.
