THE DIGNIFIED RANT
My Art Tour
My Room
Ok, no etchings in here. Really. Although eventually I will have two nice ink drawings of an Abrams and a Bradley Fighting Vehicle framed for my bathroom.
I have an antique style map of the world on one wall. On another, I have a map centered around Iraq. Over my roll top desk I have two honorable discharges (one Army Reserve and one Army National Guard), plus a Cold War service certificate.
The actual art is more limited. I have a print of troops of the 101st Airborne division dismounting in Vietnam in what is apparently a hot LZ late in the war. The Hueys and Cobra's are all shooting as are the troops on the ground. They should have had a parade. We failed these Americans utterly by turning our backs on them after 58,000 died to protect us. I got this at the annual meeting of the Association of the United States Army. One of the major defense companies was giving them out. The artist was there signing copies and I regret not standing in line to get it signed. So this is up to say thanks:
Like I noted, I really like his bright colors and this one of a trolley is quite striking.
You may wish to head to Mister's room, Mister's bathroom, or back to the conservatory.
