Florida Artist Paints WestportNow Picture

Author-artist Dorothy Joan Riley of Brandon, Fla., was so taken with a WestportNow photo of the Ruth Steinkraus Cohen Bridge in Westport’s center published Sept. 28, 2004 that she decided to do a painting of it. She found the image during an Internet search. In an e-mail message, the disabled, 54-year-old Vietnam-era vet said, “I was struck by the play of lights on the wet concrete and thought it might make a great painting.”  (CLICK TO ENLARGE) Painting by Dorothy Joan Riley
