History of a Painting - Euharlee, GA,

Covered Bridge (Front view)

Acrylic Painting by Larry Johnston©

When I first moved to Georgia, I was asked to paint this covered bridge by a man that owned property next to it.  I sold the original to him, with photo prints and limited edition prints at art shows and festivals for many years. 

I had a lady from Powder Springs, GA commission me to paint another view of the locally famous bridge.  Since the first painting was a side view, with fall colors, she asked me to put some pink and blue in the picture to match the decor in her house.  The final painting had more of a Spring look to it.  It too became a popular painting in the area.

I love covered bridges. My grandparents had a local artist do one of my great grandfather's covered bridge. It was part of this land and located near him grain mill setup.

Larry another excellent job on a painting.  This covered bridge could easily be a covered bridge here in New England.
