Bobby's Bridge
One Nation Under God AKA Steve Kreuscher
(see more by this artist)
This painting has a very strange coincidental, almost prophetic story behind it.
I started this painting on feburary 10, 1999. Then on March 19, 1999 at around 7:30 in the morning, I was about 3/4 the way done with this picture. That morning, I was driving a special education school bus. I was in a students driveway, and his mother was putting him on my bus, when his mother and I, heard another driver get on the bus radio and say, that a student on her bus has just forced her to stop the bus. The driver on the bus radio was very upset and she said that the boy had given the other children on her bus his valuables and that he walked up the hill and was about to jump off the tollway bridge down onto the tollway. My students mother and I didn't move, we just sat there praying in our hearts and waiting for further information. Then all of a sudden, the other driver got back on the bus radio. She could hardly talk, because she was crying as she was trying to say that Robert just jumped off the tollway bridge.
That night, when I got home, I called the bus company, to see if they had any further information on Roberts codition. Vickie, the lady that answered, said, "THANK GOD! HE'S ALIVE!". Then she also said. "Steve don't you know who that is? That is little bobby, who was in your Sunday school class about 10 years ago with Tammy, your daughter.
I had showed my youngest son, Micah, the this painting that I had been working on and I had asked him what he thought of the picture. Micah replied, "It looks very good Dad, but there is a very strange contrast in it; The overall picture is very eery, but yet the boy in the middle looks so happy."
Then, about two weeks later, on March 31 1999, on my way home from work, I picked up Tammy. When we got home, Tammy went upstairs and I sat down and continued to work on my painting. I finally finished the painting about three hours later. I went upstairs to show Tammy the picture and Tammy said, "Wait a minute Dad! Before you show me your picture I want to read a poem to you that I just wrote about little Bobby. In the poem, Tammy started out saying how very happy of a little boy Bobby always was."
When Tammy was finished reading her poem, I turned the picture around and showed it to her. Suddenly we both felt a tremendiously eery coincidental feeling . We had both just then finilly realized the very strange eery coincidences that surrounded this painting.
One last thing about Bobby. Two semi-trucks happened to see that Bobby was about to jump off the toll bridge, so they jack-knifed together, so that no cars could get through and run him over. Bobby has permanent lower spine injurys from the jump and land, but he is alive and last I heard he's doing fine today.
