Description

This acrylic painting on canvas depicts the river scene of La Crosse, Wisconsin where the famous "Blue Bridges" were constructed over the Mississippi River. River activities in the area include many tug boats attached to barges transporting products up and down the river. The local paddle boat, the La Crosse Queen, gives tours of the Mississippi River and the Black River from the Riverside Park boat dock. Several large tour paddle boats, such as the Queen of the Mississippi, the American Queen, the American Duchess have scheduled stops at the riverside docks during the summer months.
This view of the city of La Crosse, the blue bridges and Grandad's Bluff is from the Minnesota side of the Mississippi River. I chose a sunset or twilight time frame so that the beautiful reflections of the lights on the river could be enjoyed. The famous World's Largest Six-pack brewery showing the original brand of Old Style beer can be found tucked away on the right. The current beer brewed there now is Lacrosse Beer. Many hotels, office buildings and cathedral spires are depicted along with the eagle statue and the Indian statue in Riverside Park.
This special request painting was a wedding present for two special people.
