Drama Queen
Vicksburg National Military Park
Vicksburg, Mississippi
Statue of Brigadier General Lloyd Tilghman, C.S.A. - Commanding First Brigade of Loring's Division - Killed May 16, 1863 near the close of the Battle of Champion's Hill, Mississippi.
I was drawn to this statue because of the sweeping gesture and the wild horse. The gesture is a bit melodramatic, don't you think?
There's probably a special place in hell for southerners who make fun of Confederate war heroes, but meh, there it is.
This was another attempt at watercolors without ink lines. I caved at the finish and added the ink details to the two faces and a bit around the cuffs.
