Description
When I was a child my grandmother, a 3rd grade school teacher, would take my brothers, cousins and me to an old historic cemetery over looking the Kentucky River in Frankfort, Ky. Danielle Boone's wife Rebecca is buried there as is one of my favorite water-colorist, Paul Sawyers. Giant sycamores and maples create a beautiful setting more park-like than cemetery. We always enjoyed our afternoons in the cemetery with my grandmother as she taught us historical facts about some of the residents and it was also a place that inspired wonder of another time. This painting was inspired by one of the statues in the cemetery. I discovered her as a child overlooking the grave I imagined to someone special, because she as guardian was so special. She has intrigued me most of my life and so as an adult I found her again one fall afternoon while revisiting my childhood and memories of my grandmother.
