Description

Landscape painting of the local Killbuck Bridge, which was torn down in 2014. The bridge is brown, crossing over a river, and made up of large triangular sides. There is a large tree on the left, exiting off the top of the canvas. There are several trees throughout, including a thin one in the foreground coming from the river. The painting has a limited palette of blues, greens, whites, and browns. It feels like winter with the bare trees showing some early signs of spring approaching. Signed "O Merritt" in BLC in white paint.
