| January Bayou, original artwork by Michael J. Richardson, (c) 2018 |
The Antebellum home is taken from a place in Louisiana called “Oak Alley Plantation.” It’s not exactly like that, but it’s the model from memory. It’s a thoughtful drawing. The house looks vibrant and alive, yet the trees offer a look of “old” and “winter.” Those are live oaks. They have foliage year-round (though it’s sparse during the winter months). There are no leaves in my drawing. I thought of this drawing based on an old poem I wrote years ago called “The Passing”—it’s about Death passing by once again today.
