What makes a covered bridge so interesting?
I was a fan of covered bridges long before the book or movie about "The Bridges of Madison County." Both sets of my grandparents lived in Madison County, Iowa. They took me and the other grandchildren to several of the bridges and we got to walk through them and hear the history of the covered bridges.
Maybe you don't have an interest in covered bridges but what about old barns or homes?
One of my favorite subjects to paint is old barns and covered bridges, and one bridge painting took a blue ribbon at the state fair a couple years ago. Here in central Indiana we have around 30. Sadly, they are favorite canvases for teenagers with spray paint, and targets for arsonists. We lost the longest bridge in Indiana a few years back for that reason.
There's just something so romantic about them. And I love old barns -- what character they have! We have hundreds in this county alone. I even live in an old farmhouse -- built 1906. Original wood floors, woodwork and transoms - love it! You sure don't see that in today's cookie cutter houses.
