John McCoy was dedicated to expressing his emotional responses to the natural world, believing in the power of art and nature. He captured the atmospheric subtleties of the rural countryside of Pennsylvania and the coast of Maine, expressing through light and color the transient mood of the landscape. Pictured here is Twin Bridges—once a covered span—that crosses the Brandywine just south of Chadds Ford.
