Here's my latest painting and I absolutely ADORE it! This young man is currently deployed in Iraq and his Mom misses him terribly. His Aunt (Mom's sister) commissioned me to do this so that she can feel close to him from afar. He has such a wonderful face to paint and the medals, flag and uniform were a challenge to paint. The face is the most wonderful part though and I thoroughly enjoyed painting him. I chose Ephesians 6:14-17 for the Bible reference. Our soldiers that protect us and our precious freedom need the very best of protection.
