Campground Message Board
gouache
11.4 x 8.9 cm (4.5" x 3.5")

This small painting was done over a pencil drawing completed one night last fall in a campground in Mississippi, somewhere along the Natchez Trace Parkway. (The Parkway commemorates the Natchez Trace, an ancient five hundred mile foot trail, established by native Americans and then used by early European explorers and American settlers. The trail ran from Natchez, Mississippi to Nashville, Tennessee.)
