This month (April) we went to Elmwood Cemetery again to sketch. It was a beautiful, warm day :) Great for sketching! I walked around to find something to sketch + this caught my eye. The epitaph said "Nannie Lucas":

For my next sketch I wanted to do an overall sketch with many tombstones:
(Pencil, Watercolor)
After that, it was time to meet back up to see everyone's sketches. It's always neat to see how others record + translate the same space you are in.
I brought my lunch + stayed for one more sketch. I love the paired tombstones in this photo:
I decided to focus on the columns, tree + what appears to be a pile of books:
(micron pen, derwent inktense pencil, watercolor)
My last sketch was my favorite :) I'm glad I decided to stay + found a nice spot in the shade.
Boy do we have stuff in common...Our mates look somewhat alike, and I am forever going through graveyards with him, as he is a well known, in this area especially, genealogist, and military historian. I am an artist as well~:-) Really cute pics of you two.
