In honor of our Vets, Men and Women, who have sacrificed all, and the now recently released-to-theater movie, 1917, I draw the red poppy...
...excerpt from poem, In Flanders Fields
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
Read background of poem and author and soldiers who retrieved it; now its popularity and symbolism....HERE

DeleteHow cool. We got to see the work in progress. Read the piece on the poem. Never read it all and must say I teared up. I so hate war.
ReplyDeleteYep, when I do a new drawing, I usually share the beginning outline. The ones from my portfolio are "too old"...most before digital cameras. Thanks Patti.
