"... never forget what they did here ...


While visiting Kyle, Tiffany and Kaiden in March 2008, they took me to Gettysberg, PA. to visit this famous battlefield and memorial. I was overwhelmed with reverence for this place. We also visited the Linclon Memorial in Washington D.C. and read his Gettyberg address. His words, "... never forget what they did here ..." prompted this painting. I am grateful today for those who protect us and stand up for those who cannot. (Acrylic on canvass 24" x 18")

Very COOL painting! If anyone has ever been there, I can vouch that it is right on the money. If you haven't seen it, it might just look like a normal painting of trees and snow. It is amazing that you Dad can see something one time and portray it on a canvas. Beautiful painting!
