I love this church and its history and it was a joy to try to capture it's proud beauty. After over 300 years, it is still an active parish sitting high on "the hill" overlooking the York River. It was rendered with pen and ink and watercolor.

Cannons on Yorktown Battlefield
This is another of my pen and ink with watercolor illustrations. My reference photo was taken directly behind the Yorktown Visitors Center, overlooking the York River. It looks like the three cannons are trying to shoot down the defenseless pine tree!
Victory Monument-Yorktown, Virginia
My reference for this watercolor painting was a photo I had taken when the sunset was casting a golden glow on "Yorktown's Lady". It was a time-consuming project with a lot of detail...but that's my style!
Fifes and Drums-Yorktown, Virginia
This intricately-rendered pen and ink with watercolor is the latest in my Historic Triangle collection. The faces are recognizable...this was my most difficult challenge.
