"HONORING ALICE SCUDDER, 1873-1953"

No. 353 of my 365/2010 series
Title: "HONORING ALICE SCUDDER, 1873-1953"
Size: 8.5X11inches
Medium: Watercolor on 140lb. watercolor paper.
This one is for my sister-in-law Gwen Scudder Anderson who lives in Searcy, Arkansas. I was visiting my brother, Bob and Gwen this summer on My way to Mississippi and Alabama and had a little time and wanted to see Northeast Arkansas. Gwen told me about Lapanto, Ak. and that her great grandmother was buried in this beautiful little cemetery. So I looked it up and this is what I found. It was a great little side trip. I found places like Jericho, Ak. and even a movie set left exactly as it was used.
Alice Scudder is buried in the Potter Memorial Cemetery, Lapanto, Poinsett County, Arkansas. Gwen never got to meet her Grandmother but does remember from her Mother about Alice's wonderful peanut butter cookies. I hope you like this Gwen.
I hope all of you like what I do.
Comments and/or remarks are appreciated.
