This old iron bridge was built after the floods in 1937. It was recently renovated and will be with us for a while longer. This painting is one of a series of paintings that I did “en plein air” during the summer of 2012. I called this series idylls. An idyll is a short description in verse or prose of a picturesque scene or incident, especially in rustic life. Later it became used more expansively as an extremely happy, peaceful, or picturesque period or situation, typically an idealized or unsustainable one.
