Oil on 5x7 hardboard.Please take some time today to quietly thank God for the multitude of servicemen and women who gave their all for this nation we are so blessed to be living in.
When you are out and about and you see the military , don't be embarrassed to thank them personally for all they do.

James 1:12 Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.
Great piece. Great values. Great thoughts. Love the subliminal background.
ReplyDeleteEvery year you place such a lovely and thought-provoking painting to commemorate the heroes, Dean! If you love challenges, place this on RedBubble where there is a "shoes without people challenge on.

I, too, really like your background; a strong message painted and delivered beautifully. Also, love your cow painting just below, beautiful range of whites!
ReplyDeletenice work dean. you have painted this boots so well - the price of freedom.take care ben.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you about saying thanks to servicemen and women. Once I was at a coffee shop and my h struck up a conversation with a guy next to us. We learned he was a Viet Nam Vet. When we left I spontaneously stuck my hand out and said "thank you for serving our country". I could tell he was very surprised and he immediately got misty, but he had a smile too. So many (especially the ones from Viet Nam) are never thanked. It's a wonderful idea to do so!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this painting...it is beautiful.
What a fitting theme for this special holiday. Love it
ReplyDeleteThank you, Dean, for stirring us. What a wonderful country we have, despite the challenges we face, criticism we endure...
ReplyDeleteA very touching pair of shoes...very thoughtful too..
ReplyDeleteLove these combat boots. I had my Dad's WWII boot out to paint for Memorial Day (my sister has the other one) and every time I touched it, it crumbled. I gave up after two tries - they just looked drab - then saw your great boots on your post today. These are wonderful and I love all the color you found in them.
