Belleau, Helmand and the Mojave-- Sketches about Marines
Great Show at the Corcoran Gallery
It's a powerful show, and I recommend you see it, if you're able to. NOTE: IT'S ENDING THIS WEEKEND, SEPTEMBER 29th! SEE IT WHILE YOU CAN!
It is also a great overview of how we see war (and in some ways how we don't see it-- there were some very graphic images I'd never seen before, of casualties, military and civilian, which were probably originally withheld from the public). Click Here for the website about the exhibit.

Sgt Reckless
This portrait drawing is of the famous Marine horse, "Sgt Reckless" from the Korean War era.
She was a beloved war horse, a pack animal for the 5th Marines who saw action with them in Korea.
Here is the oil portrait of Sgt Reckless, in process-- the underpainting stage now complete.
