Browns Chapel CME

You can see some of the notes on this page from a full sized sketch pad.  We had taken a walk from MGH's on the road that heads mostly east. The main road is named after the chapel but actually has two names depending on where you look on the map. The other name is a surname found in an old part of this cemetery.  If you go looking for the place, don't expect your gps to get you very close)
There are many such churches as this in the south - actually all over the country.  Mostly ignored by the descendants of those buried here, although there were some new graves we saw.  The message they may have originally protected is mostly forgotten as well.   It is a short walk up the dirt drive leading into it, and there seems to be no rich benefactor to fence the property and keep it up.  But the view speaks of all the old ways, and more honest times.

This pencil drawing and the studies that go with it is one of my favorite from this trip to Middle Georgia. It was done in a sketchpad and tossed aside only to be found recently.  About a 9 x 12 inch format I believe.  The larger sketch was done and then I thought it would be good to do a couple studies to clear up some of the details and jog my memory later...   The notes clarify some of the grave markings and other signage on the property.
