The artist would like to note that this piece was painted on location in “a beautiful historic setting.” Indeed Towle depicts this site of the first battle of the American Revolution in Concord, MA with reverence. Although the scene is lacking any military battles, diagonal brushstrokes throughout give it a dynamic sense of movement. The artist’s color choices are dominated by a lush assortment of greens, with the occasional burst of purple flowers and light blue sky. Although the bridge is the focal point by title, Towle also illustrates a beauty in the natural world which surrounds it.
