Artists of Cedar Hill Tour

Today I went on my fourth tour at Cedar Hill Cemetery. The theme for this tour was "The Artists of Cedar Hill." The tour lasted about 90 minutes. The starting point is the flagpole near the beginning of the cemetery proper. Cars are parked on the side of the 2-lane blacktop road. Tour guides are generally volunteers under the guidance of the Foundation Director.

Welcome to Cedar Hill

Proceed to the Flagpole for the tour.

The flagpole.

Can you spot me? (Hint: look towards the left).

The tour covered 12 artists (if I remember correctly-I wish I had taken notes). Here are the ones I remember (note: click on the link to go to a biography for the artist):

• William Gedney Bunce

• Ralph Clarkson

• William Baxter Closson

• Katharine Seymour Day

• Helena Smith Dayton

• Albert Entress

• Charles Allan Gilbert

Is this a skull or what? See below.

• William Glackens

• Allen Butler Talcott

• Richard Welling

• George F. Wright

I think George F, Wright is the one without a marker.
This was the last stop of the tour (see below too).

This wasn't part of the proper tour but I like the perspective
and the colors. A gorgeous day.

Can you believe I was able to capture these colors?
