Painting - Acrylic On Canvas 2012
Description
My planning for this project consisted of several ideas. I chose this composition from old black and wlhite photos for its sense of unity amongst the soldiers, and in order to provide clarity and realism to the artpiece. The sky was a separate creation, added to give a sense of mood to the challenges faced by the black infantry in the painting. After reference material was selected, I began by stretching lightly primed canvas duck over stretcher strips. I then added gesso to the canvas in order to smooth the painting surface for better paint distribution. Setting the actual composition onto canvas is always rendered free-hand in pencil, until a suitable arrangement is achieved. Liquitex Professional artist color is used exclusively with matte medium, and glazing medium. Actual paint application starts dark to light, and built upon with adjustments to composition until I am satisfied with the results. This painting was created specifically as a donation to the Veterans Hospital in Fresno, CA. It will be presented this fall, in November 2012.

Thanks, my friend. Always a pleasure to hear from you. Not enough commentary, nor recognition for the sacrifices our African American have made, AND in the face of bigotry and racial tensions. Under those conditions, many blacks could not rationalize the call to duty abroad, and the separate and unequal climate and treatment at home. Alas, we fought. To it and through it.
