HELL'S HALF ACRE: A VIETNAM WAR WEBPAGE-Artwork
Artwork
I have refined my artwork page and I will be adding a new generation of recently created artwork. Please be patient while this page loads up because the size of one painting is pretty big. Currently I have only two works which are my more accurate works. I have ommited my older works because of the number of inaccuracies in details. My newest addition to this page is a painting I completed on Thanksgiving of this year. Click on the images for a larger image.
 1. An oil painting I started in July 1999 and I finally completed it just in time for Veterans day in November 1999. The image isn't very good qaulity because I had to take a photo of the actual artwork because it is too big to scan. Depicted here are soldiers of the 25th Infantry Division on patrol during the summer of 1966. All the soldiers wear the non ripstop second pattern jungle fatigue shirt.
 2.Here is a scan of a Vietnam war painting titled "All the leaves are brown..." I completed on Thanksgiving Day 2001. Created with watercolors and Gauche, the painting depicts soldiers of the 25th Infantry Division patroling an Agent Orange defoliated area somewhere near Cu Chi in March of 1966. The painting is based upon my father's own experiences. He said him and his comrades noticed that the landscape was dryed out and burnt, but they did not know why. Later on they found out it was caused by the infamous herbicide Agent Orange. As my father was on patrol he looked at all the brown leaves and the words to the early 1966 hit song "California Dreaming" came to his mind. The soldiers in this painting wear a mixture of uniforms. The two closer soldiers wear OG 107 utilities while the M60 gunner and the soldier wearing glasses wear the 1st pattern Tropical Combat Uniform.
