I may be finished with this ... if not, it's got to be done by tomorrow afternoon, anyway, because my friend will photograph it for me then. The period of time depicted here is before 1888 (based on a missing monument) and could be accurate to the Civil War years, but I'm not sure when the white fence was put up and taken down. The research was certainly interesting!See other examples of my work at www.southmountainsketchbook.webs.com

I enjoyed watching this work come to life. It's wonderful! thanks for sharing your process.
What a perfectly beautiful representation of a historical landmark. It is amazing!
Fantastic Dianne. The research must have been fun also. Gettysburg is a great town to paint!
Thanks, everyone! I'm so glad to move on at this point, but I may have caught the "bug" for researching historical paintings -- nothing too elaborate!! It's just a wee bug.
Thanks for sharing your progress. I can tell you enjoyed the research and painting. Lovely.
