Hi! Just introducing myself and my work. I'm a new member to the group. Most of my work is in acrylics. I enjoy painting landscapes, figures and portraits. Currently I am working on several different paintings. I typically have 3 to 6 paintings I work on at any given time. This is a painting I completed a few years ago, titled "Thoughts of War, Thoughts of Home." Although it is set in the Civil War time, the painting is more about the separation a war brings than it is about the particular period. Hope you enjoy it.

Hello, Michael!
Welcome to be a part of our group!
I was so impressed with this your painting, that had to google some more... what made me even more impressed!
Hope to see more of your works here, they are just great!
Thank you so much! I have to get my own art site up eventually. Guess blogger is the best way to go right now. Thanks again and nice meeting you!
Amazing piece. Very well done.
A gorgeous painting here, Michael. I honestly thought it was a photo of reenactment actors. Just quite lovely. My daughter did a painting capturing the exact same emotion you expressed as your basis for this painting and it too was stunning.
Wow! Welcome Michael. This is wonderful! Attention to detail is perfect! Can't wait to see more.
Welcome to this wonderful blog--you will see such great artwork here--very inspirational, as is your painting-I've been looking at images of battle-fatigued soldiers for decades--newsreels at the the movies, movies, paintings, TV, newspapers, etc. and I can say that no matter what the year, no matter what the uniform, the sad facial expressions are all the same. On this Memorial Day weekend--thank you for your initial entry.
