Watching the progress in this piece has been wonderful, and the outcome is sympatheticly coloured from when I last saw it. well done on a really great piece. If you sell it, I hope it goes to someone who appreciates it.

Artist Reply: Thank you very much for your comments! Actually, the 2 in the painting are two of my kids (the boy really is a soldier), and this is part of their inheritence, since dad is but a starving artist. Thanks again!

Nicely done, Alan. You've captured a great deal of youthful anticipation and optimism in both their faces.
