Sunrise at Dawhoo Bridge 30 X 40"

If anyone has visited Edisto Island by automobile, you have crossed the Dawhoo River bridge which is named for McKinley Washington as a  memorial. This represents the third bridge from the mainland to this large SC coastal sea island. The first such bridge, built in 1920, was a swing bridge which allowed boats to pass under It . In 1950, a second bridge was constructed which was a two lane electric swing bridge, but was not tall enough for intracoastal vessels to safely pass.. This most recent bridge ,honoring McKinley Washington, was dedicated in 1993 and is  a new bridge tall enough to remain  closed, safely allowing room for large boats  and gives a beautiful view of the local area. From this height the vista includes Jehossee Island and the entire Dawhoo water course as well as   the intercoastal waterway cut- through to the South Edisto River.  At Dawn and dusk, beautiful views can be seen, especially  at Sunset and at Sunrise.  This painting was done looking East at Dawn towards
