$1200.00
I am back to my "Salute" series. There is so much I like about painting these veterans. I love the pride they have in their country. I love the pride they have that they served. They made a difference. I found this veteran at the commissioning of the USS John Warner. He was sitting in a seat near me. I watched as he greeted friends and fellow veterans. He proudly wore his VFW (Veterans of Foreign Wars) hat. Sometimes I am a little shy about asking for a salute...I have only been turned down once...but most of the time I overcome my inhibitions and just ask. This gentleman was very happy to oblige. I still have quite a few in my "Salute" folder...but if you know of anyone who is willing to participate..please let me know.
This is such a great series Maria! There is so much feeling in all of them, they are wonderful:)
