Paintings of France, Italy and Beyond

You might be thinking, “That’s not much of a hill”. But the “Hill” I’m referring to in this painting is the A.P. Hill monument on Hermitage Road in Richmond’s North Side neighborhood.

“Springtime at the Hill Monument”

8×10″, Oil on Canvas

Painted on location yesterday afternoon,  I started this at about 2 PM under warm, sunny skies. But it sure got chilly pretty quickly once the clouds started rolling in.

I pass by this gentleman every day as I drive to and from home, but I think he’s at his most charming in the springtime as he gazes down at the row of flowering trees.

I didn’t realize this but according to Wikipedia:

“This monument is the only one of its type in Richmond under which the subject individual is actually interred.”
