This is a painting of a father and his 3 sons, all in the military, at different times in their lives. The oldest son, on the right, died young in action. The father, third from right, was painted from a blown up 1 1/2"x 1" slightly blurry, black and white photo. The painting was a composite of different photos of the men and the military equipment that each used. I changed the lighting of 3 of the people in order to give the painting a more cohesive look with the light all coming from one direction onto the people and equipment. I put the flag enveloping the men to stress the patriotism and sacrifices the family has made for our country. This is a 22"x28" oil painting.
