The wreath on the door commemorates Confederate Memorial Day which is a state holiday in some states in the US. In Georgia, it was April 27th. It gives people a chance to honor and remember the Confederate soldiers who died or were wounded during the Civil War in the 1860s. Old Stone Church was used as a hospital.

Three by BJ Wright

8" x 10" oil on linen board, painted en plein air, alla prima on June 16th (completed around 10:30am) at the Chickamauga Battlefield in Northwest Georgia - $85 including shipping - contact me for purchase ----
Sandra and I spent the morning at Chickamauga Battlefield painting the rolling hills and meadows. Occasionally a hiker or biker would come into view, wave, then disappear around a bend.

The sun was fast rising and so was the temperature, so I painted quickly. A lilac colored haze in the distance reminded me that there was once cannon fire here - but now there is peace.

South from Fort Keys by BJ Wright

As we were painting at the Tunnel Hill battlefield on March 22nd, I saw this lovely patch of purple at the meadow's edge. As I painted, the dark colors under the trees on the left kept changing. Even though my initial intent was to feature the purple flowers, I loved working on the darks as well.

The meadow was peaceful under the early September sky; the trees showed signs of Autumn colors soon to come.

Chetoogeta Hillside by BJ Wright

8" x 10" oil on canvas covered hardboard - painted en plein air - $85 including shipping - SOLD - Thanks, Dr. Tom !! -
This scene was painted in 3 stages. Beginning in April the general layout was done; then twice the site was revisited with additions and corrections made to include the seasonal changes. The final touches were done in studio on August 20th.

There are actually two tunnels through Chetoogeta Mountain. The one on the right is famous for being part of the Great Locomotive Chase during the Civil War, and is now part of the historical park in Tunnel Hill. The tunnel to the left was opened in 1928 to accommodate the larger locomotive engines of modern times.

Peaceful Morn at the Battlefield-Tunnel Hill , GA

Cathy Cooksey- This is the view over the battlefield at Tunnel Hill , Ga. in early morning. It's hard to imagine the brutality that occurred here during the Civil War. It is so peaceful here in the mornings, however there is definetly a presence here. You can feel it.

This was my first attempt at Plein Aire. I had experience painting outside, because I paint outside at my shows, but this was the first time I was painting what I was looking at around me. It was amazing how much I learned from this one picture. I'm Hooked. I can't wait to do it again. We painted in morning and at noon. I definitly preferred the morning.

This is a 10 x 14 acrylic and it sells for $100. To purchase contact me at cookseycathy@aol.com
