Sketching "The Rock House"

During the winter break, I took my sons Austin and Cason over to Thomson so we could sketch an historic building called The Rock House.  Apparently, many people think it is haunted (cold spots, floating orbs, noises, etc.), but we didn't have any sightings!  Don't you think on a cold day or night, in a rock house with broken windows, there would be wild temperature variations?


First, the historical marker.  We also visited Historic Wrightsboro, and saw roads from the 1760s.  Pretty cool.


Next, the view of the house that I sketched, minus the well.


Austin (R) and Cason (L) inside the kitchen of the house.  They enjoyed running around and exploring after they finished their paintings.


My finished sketch.  Pen and watercolor in Moleskine watercolor notebook.
