I painted in the cemetery today at Waxahachie. It is a beautiful and old place. Many of the graves in the older parts belong to people born in the early 1800s. I think old graveyards are very interesting and beautiful places. There is so much history connected with them and often the graves themselves are works of art. The graves are often testaments of faith of the departed and their families.
