I did this painting while thinking of stories about family who served during World War I on Armistice/Veterans Day.. I thought of the gray battle field memorial near Verdun in France that I visited a few years ago….I thought of those who have served past and those who serve now….
Thank you.

Hi

Cheers

Peggy, wow, something totally different, and at the same time, very much yours. I like it. Thanks for honoring our veterans with your work. Holly
it’s captivating. A very nice tribute to those who have served their country.
Very powerful. I love it. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Peggy, when I first saw this, before reading your description, I thought of the Twin Towers. Perhaps not too removed from your intent – liberty threatened. A very strong piece of work and such a fitting tribute to those who have served or are serving our country now. I like the lines, your pallette, and the repetitious angles.
Thank you Kaylene, Holly, Rachel, Sharon and Mary! I appreciate the comments and compliments. Every once in a while, an imagine emerges from some part in my brain that I don’t usually reach. This piece is one. Mary, I think I was thinking of the sadness and tragedy of war; the Twin Towers fits.
An inspirational painting! Thank you for the remembrance.
Thank you Kathy; and thank you for following my blog!

From Mabs in Le Chateau with victims of the flu as well as wound lying on those wide wide stair steps to a northwest beach = the emotion and remembrance continues it is a wonder that humans can be deeply compassionate and also have the warrior impulses
Hi Mom! Thank you for posting a comment! For blog buddies, Mom’s mom, also known as Mabs, was an Army Nurse in WWI, serving in France. She knew first hand the cost of war….in ways I can barely imagine.
