What is Courage

 

What is Courage? Never Give Up.(03-16-03). 22 x 28 in (55.88 x 71.12 cm).
Acrylic on canvass. Dedicated to the brave men and women in the Armed Forces,
to my friends with CR-PTSD, and my civilian friends with PTSD. Also,
dedicated to Andy, Logo, Charlie, Dan and Robin, JL, Woody, Jim,
Timo, Wildcat, Demaj, Teresa, Mike, and everyone else on NamVets List.
May God watch over each and every one of us.

Don't anyone get hung up on the Peace symbol.

The eye on the right was inspired by a photograph of a vet in Vietnam.
The San Francisco scene on the left was inspired by a photographer's
rather beautiful shot.

The original and still present intent of this painting is speaking to is the
courage for all of us to carry on.

This is one of my experiments with Expressionism.
