Gettysburg Festival was great. About 17 of us painted for the 10 days of the festival. I painted threed days myself, and completed 2 paintings. "View from Sachs Covered Bridge" is pioctured here. Started on Monday21, it was a sweltering day, so immediately looked for a shady view of the bridge. When I walked through the dark tunnel of the bridge itself, I noticed the lattice-like sides and the diamond patterns through which one could view the world outside. The fisherman ouside through one of the diamond shapes sealed it for me. I painted this scene using acrylics on watercolor paper from about 9 am until 1:30 pm, and finished it at home on June 26, the day before our art show at the Historic Gettysburg Railroad Station.
