Title: New Portrait
Post by: EIEIO on July 16, 2013, 04:24:04 pm
This is a portrait of my brother in law. Chris was killed in Vietnam in 1968. He was a graduate of the NYCCC School of Commercial Art and a working commercial artist before he volunteered for army service. Artist, athlete, and poet. Some gave all.

8"x10" on 1/4" BB Ply with a black felt backer, in a hand-made black walnut frame.
