Terry Hall Arts - Swamp at Chippokes

Virginia has a wonderful state park system. Along the James River in Surrey County is Chippokes Plantation State Park, a plantation site from the olden days of yore. A fun thing to do here is to take the ferry across the river to colonial Jamestown and Williamsburg.

This colored pencil painting was inspired by a view towards the river from a small creek. I have tried to do a stylized rendering of the vegetation instead of going for realism. The size of this piece is 16 inches by 12 inches
