Quick watercolor/tissue-applied acrylic painting with autobiographia in different 'hand writing' styles, these paraphrase my Father's service. Done quickly for a spur of the moment ASAP today type of thing just for fun on poster board. The map is of the region where he was stationed, the poppies are there in Flanders, and an impression of a Belgian village with a bloody history is at the fore, flanked by the living contrasting pure daisies. I added one of Dad's Veteran Of Foreign War pins in the area of a poem written for him.
When this poster is enlarged, the red Marne area where Dad served, ironically came out to BE a poppy...like the ones above it.
