Welcome to a preview of my upcoming show From Great to Grand which opens in August at
Blue Heron Coffeehouse in Winona.
From along the Great River Road. The original oil paintings shown below were inspired by my travels down river with a unique free 12 car ferry ride at Lansing along The Great River Road. Bridges connect us to neighboring states all along the Mississippi River. There are several I need to cross in my ventures up and down, just get to the other side. When a bridge is down or closed many have to drive some distance for the next crossing.
In the case of the 100 year old Black Hawk Bridge at Lansing, IA, replacement project due to be completed in 2027, some wise people arranged a car ferry to keep the local economy going on. I'm sure it still had it's inconveniences especially due to weather. The little red boat was moving ice sheets out of the way, that impeded the ferry crossing the river in Spring. I had the chance to take the ferry coming back from Dubuque, approaching Lansing to cross back over to Wisconsin. Lucky me I had some new vantage points to capture for my paintings in the studio.
Check out the videos online of the demolition by KTTC Tv and locals.. Quite the explosion.
