I'm normally not a big fan of cute arts ( puppies, kitties, cuties,cakes, cookies,whipped creams,boogies, strawberries,veggies,happy trees Bob Ross please forgive me, I loved your personality but not your art) and war art because they have been soo OVERLY done!!!!!!!!. But I think you did stunning job by staying away from the traditional approaches ,and putting your own style and interpretation to this narrative historical event. Very good job!

This was probably the last commissioned work that I will do because I find it extremely hard to paint something that someone else wants me to paint. I did not realize this before this work , but there is a lot of war art . I did try a different approach to engage the viewer more and was ecstatic when I completed this painting because this meant that I could paint the next one...my own, which is a dream I had when I was about 12 years old. You just might like this one!
