Remembrance, Pastel, 24x18. Vietnam Veterans Memorial, Washington, DC.
The Mall in DC is filled with magnificent memorials and structures, but none filled me with a sense of awe and reverence like The Wall. It is stunning in its simplicity and beauty, and reflections.
I decided to paint this as a solitary figure gently touching a remembered name. Although the reflections are spectators, they seem to embody the soldiers who are honored with their names carved into the marble.
