“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.

“Angelin” Angelin is the daughter of my friends who are first generation Mexican Immigrants. The text is the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 which was the first federal law to ban an entire ethnic group from immigrating to the US. #immigration #drawing #draw #ink #portrait #art #fineart #artist #losangelesartist #losangeles #laart
“Mike R” adding dimension to the portrait by using what I’ve learned in my water series and creating dimension and depth. The face is an underwater reef upon which the wave breaks #water #portrait #painting #dimension #depth #blue #art #fineart #artist #painter #paintings #wave #waves #contemporaryart #artstudio #color #paint #artwork #shore #surf #shoreline #ocean #sea #palette #losangelesartist #losangeles
