Backyard, Mississippi

Published November 8th, 2006 in Field

Pretty much all of the actual drawing and painting I managed to do while on vacation I did one morning in Holly Springs, Mississippi. My girlfriend and I stayed with friends in a beautiful house built in 1861. Here’s a sketch:

Tomorrow, another sketch and a watercolor from the yard.

I like how haunted and Southern-Gothic it looks. The bold pencil strokes serve it well. It’s funny how the watercolor makes it look like a completely different place–more Thanksgiving-y, less The Hills Have Eyes.

About Lee-Roy

I’m a Storyboard Artist and Illustrator currently in Los Angeles, where I live with my fiancée, three cats, and several colonies of ants. My earliest memory is as a three-year-old, drawing a picture. About three decades later, the picture is still being drawn. It’s one I never want to finish.
