Description

Savannah Georgia Bonaventure Cemetery Impression is painted in a palette of warm tones, harmonized with cool blue and neutral gray. I call this palette my “Bird Girl”  palette because I started to paint the “Savannah Bird Girl” many years ago in oil, using a rich colorful palette comprised of magenta with Indian yellow glazed with transparent reds vibrant warm yellows. accented with blues, all mingle together creating an air of mystery with history in my paintings of the American South. I don’t go for pastel pale watercolors but for rich deep layered colors. This is my Watercolors & ink, the way I like them. My inspiration for this comes to me from the American South’s lifestyle, culture, history and mystery.

​Quote from Wikipedia “Bonaventure Cemetery is a rural cemetery located on a scenic bluff of the Wilmington River, east of Savannah, Georgia. The cemetery’s prominence grew when it was featured in the 1994 novel Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil by John Berendt, and in the subsequent movie, directed by Clint Eastwood, based on the book. It is the largest of the city’s municipal cemeteries, containing nearly 160 acres” END of quote READ THE FULL ARTICLE
