Emert's Cove Crossing Winter by Mark Keathley

Head east of town on 321 about 3 miles and you will cross over the Pigeon River as it emerges from the National Park and silently flows under the highway. Make a turn to the left and you will go a short distance to one of my favorite spots - Emert’s Cove where they have this relic from the past that stands as a testament to the days of horse and buggy, when they covered bridges so Horses just thought they were headed into and through a barn. I love the location and have seen it 20 times over the years, always hoping to get a “new” vantage point to capture its charm in dramatic mood and light. This year I was asked to paint it from different angles and in the four different seasons. ~Mark Keathly
