Veterans Day Parade

This is a 20 x 30 in. oil painting that shows two war veterans, one from the Korean War and one from World War II watching a Veterans Day parade curbside. A Grove City, Ohio memorial to Vets is shown in the background. It is an unoriginal grave-marker type marble column with the various service logos engraved on it that sit in front of the city hall. As a Korean War veteran the expressions on their faces were my inspiration.
This is the Gantz Farm House in Grove City Ohio. It is a 11 x 14 in. oil painting on a canvas panel. I have painted it before but this painting is a different view. It is also less a photographic likeness in the foliage and tree in order to use more interesting color and design. The house is pretty much the way I have painted it.
