"California Brigade Monument" by Lyn O'Neal, oil

Another scene from the Gettysburg Battlefield. The stonework on this monument intrigued me as did it's placement overlooking the fields and protected by the low hanging branches of this tree. It's almost like the tree is saying, "There, There."

Winter's Warriors by Amy Lindenberger

I feel a little "out of the loop", today, since with out-of-town guests over the holidays this is the first chance I've had to post anything in a few weeks. (I have at least had a little time to look at what my fellow PA artist have been posting and have really enjoyed the posts!) This is the first of several pieces I've done depicting portions of some of the monuments on the Gettysburg battlefield in winter. The tones in the granite statue reminded me a great deal of the tones in the surrounding winter landscape: various values of greys and brown. Working on these pieces gave me a new appreciation of the statues -- many are really unbelievably intricate in their detail.

This colored pencil drawing on Canson Mi-Teintes paper is available for purchase, and is also featured on one of my "Scenes of Gettysburg" notecards.
