from the sketchbook

There is not other day I could post this sketch without appearing a little odd... here's to cherishing the living and the dead. This sketch is from St. Paul's Episcopal Church's cemetery, a stop along cannonball trail in downtown Norfolk:

Built in 1739... St. Paul's Church is Norfolk's oldest building and the only Structure to survive the British Destruction of the city on New Year's Day 1776. A cannonball fired by Lord Dunmore of the British Fleet remains lodged in the southeastern Wall. The Church's tree-lined Cemetery is dotted with 17th-, 18th-, 19th- and 20th-Century Tombstones.

happy halloween...
