Beautifully layered work, anna missed.
Waiting to load the dead. The first quiet moment to start remembering …
Should you add ” G I A P ” somewhere?

I never know the right thing to say but this piece is so so potent and I’m speechless.
It’s like a punch in the gut.
You’ve found your zone anna missed. Well done.

Haughting… , I like the hazyness of it, like a distant dream or memory, everytime I see or especially hear one of them blackhawk/huey helicopters, or any military aircraft for that matter, I get all freaked out and paranoid, and I haven’t even been to war.
Maybe a soldier in another life?

This feeling that the viewer is looking out at the scene from the basement of a bombed building, very powerful. Thank you anna missed.

Yes to all the previous comments, Anna missed. This is powerful, forlorn, brooding, explosive…I’m not really able to capture all the different emotional responses to this right now. Thank you.

Yes, Thank You anna missed. I took the bigger picture b posted and opened it up with a graphics program to look at it at about 200% of the MOA jpg – though still not to your actual full size of 21″x21″, but it was even impressive at a larger size.

oops —meant to say – “even MORE impressive at the larger size”.
