Inspired by the episode Florida's Glory and Bridge To Autumn. Painted on a 16 x 20 canvas. In a Bridge To Autumn Bob mentions attending a covered bridge festival in Matthews, In, which is north of Muncie. The covered bridge there is Cumberland Bridge and the festival is still held there today in September. This is my version of a picture found on google earth of the Cumberland Bridge. I took some artistic liberty with the area, but that bridge is the inspiration. I had to hand draw an outline on the state of Indiana on contact paper. I did it twice because the first time I got a backwards outline, so I just traced it again to make the shape look similar. The shape is off center and not perfect, but I could not find anything that would work that I could trace.
