The Library Bunny

by

approx 9″ x 12″

Last night I dreamed I checked a bunny out from the library. I put it in my inside coat pocket for the ride home and put the books on the back seat of the car. When I got home, I put the books on the table and hung my coat in the closet. It was four days later when I remembered about the bunny in my coat pocket and by then it was hungry and on death’s door. This drawing is for you, library dream bunny.

Water Snakes & Rainbows

by

approx 11″ x 14″

from the 1932 memoirs of my great great Grandfather on fleeing Mississippi with his parents during the Union occupation:

“There on September 6th 1863, my Mother gave birth to a boy-baby, whom she named for his father James C. Brandon. But due to the strain and hardship of that long wagon journey to Shubuta, the baby’s birth was premature and he lived only a few hours. I remember very clearly going with my father in a carriage with the baby in its little coffin on the seat beside us.”

Before the River

From a photograph of my great grandmother and her cousin on the bank of the Mississippi River in the early 1910’s. All black inks, black paint and graphite and a little colored pencil, they are dark and glossy in places so my apologies for the slipshod photography.
