This was a gift to my neighbors across the street. The young man is an officer, fighting over in Iraq and his wife is here at home working hard to raise their beautiful son. I gave this to them because that was the least I could do for them. They loved the piece (18x22), which made me very happy!! This piece took about 3 weeks, with past week having the most work done to it. Sadly, the act of taking a photo did take away from some of the shading and detail. GOOD LUCK GUYS!!! You are in our thoughts.
