Today I was looking back at this mural I painted at the Veterans Village of San Diego. This is a section of the mural not quite finished. This  mural is painted in the Montage Style . The imagery is a very emotive and delicate subject to portray. The mural is about the current conflicts in the middle east, and the American people  that serve in the United States of America's Armed Forces. The colors are expressive of the desert conditions, tans pale yellows with a hint of pale blue sky at the upper area across the entire mural. The burnt orange hazy sunset with violet cool mist were used to capture the  respect, sadness, and honor this imagery evokes. This is one of two murals I have painted for The Veterans Village of San Diego. Both can be seen on my website artmurals.us   Or you can go to there and view this mural in person at 4141 Pacific Highway, San Diego, www.VVSD.net They are large murals approximately 20 feet high 30 to 40' wide. they are located in the dining area. This place is a sanctuary for the veterans who have served their country and lost their way in society. Miracles happen there!
