CSX Moon
Oil, 20x24
Shape, scale and movement blend in this painting, the diminutive moon, the huge still bulk of the bridge and the slow moving water of the Rappahannock combine to create the iconic scene for the afternoon visitor to Fredericksburg’s City Dock. From below, I view the railroad tracks and am reminded of my twin aunts who journey on foot across the bridge from Stafford to Fredericksburg to get precious typhoid shots following the Flood of 1942. Built in 1925 the bridge replaced the wooden bridge destroyed during the Civil War.
