I’m doing some studies on small panels. the smaller panels allow me to experiment and push the boundaries i have established without the commitment to a larger panel. it feels easier to make mistakes. mistakes are good. 16″x22″

“Mike” was drafted into the army in 1968 during the Vietnam War. He served in the 1st Calvary as a helicopter gunner and was shot down by a rocket after 8 months.
The text Is The Gulf of Tonkin Resolution of 1964 which authorized the use of conventional military forces in Vietnam without a declaration of war by congress. 1968 was the year of the Tet offensive which proved to be the turning point of US involvement in asia.

“Mike R” adding dimension to the portrait by using what I’ve learned in my water series and creating dimension and depth.
