This sketch shows old gravestones in a cemetery. The stones are worn and tilted, with some broken or cracked. The colors are mostly faded grays and whites, with a few hints of green and brown from the grass and trees around them. The artist used quick, loose brushstrokes. It looks like they were in a hurry or just jotting down what they saw. The scene feels quiet and a little lonely. Want to see more of this artist’s work? Check out Ellis.
