Soldiers who sacrificed their lives during world war 2 should never be forgetten.

Mark, an American soldier, gave his life for his fellow countrymen in the war in Iraq. The only one of his unit to survive the initial blast, he battled for life as he was flown back to the United States for medical care. His family flocked to his side and surrounded him with love in his final hours. Not long after his arrival in America, he died on home soil in the arms of his loved ones. His mother Kim, my husband’s first cousin, wrote this poem, “Is it you?” as she struggled with grief and loneliness for her young son. She asked me if I had a dragonfly photo to accompany her poem which relates the tale of the dragonflies that seem to hover near her in a show of consolation. This image is our collaboration, our joint effort, in memory of Mark Graham who defended the cause of freedom with steadfast determination and a valiant heart. May he rest in peace and may the angels surround him and his family now and forever. (100% of proceeds from sales will go to the Mark W. Graham Foundation; see another image, “Is it you?” in this portfolio if you’d like a green dragonfly. It will print better in the card size). Taken from the Mark W. Graham Foundation website, here is additional information about the foundation to which all funds from the sales of these images will be donated: “The Mark W. Graham Foundation is a non-profit organization which provides support for young people of character and military families in crisis. It honors the legacy of Mark Graham, a fallen soldier whose strength of character and gift of service to his country are an inspiration to all who knew him. Mark was a Lafayette, La., native and his death opened the community’s eyes to the reality of war and the sacrifice soldiers make in their fight to keep our country free. He was married to Stephanie for a little more than a year when he died. Mark was 22 years old.”

graphite on ridged strathmore paper. / 4B and 2H pencils As i was completeing this drawing, i was listening to a song by “Creed”. i used the title of their song for the title of this drawing. “Hello my friend we meet again / It’s been a while where should we begin…feels like forever / Within my heart are memories / Of perfect love you gave to me / I remember When you are with me / I’m free…I’m careless…I believe / Above all the others we’ll fly / This brings tears to my eyes / My sacrifice We’ve seen our share of ups and downs / Oh how quickly life can turn around in an instant / It feels so good to reunite / Within yourself and within your mind / Let’s find peace there When you are with me / I’m free…I’m careless…I believe / Above all the others we’ll fly / This brings tears to my eyes / My sacrifice I just want to say hello again.” Creed (album-Weathered)

I received a timely reminder today from a very dear friend to “come out and play” so here I am =) I worked on the colour version of this for so long that I completely lost any objectivity I may have once had, even after walking away from it for days and coming back to it. I love the black and white, but the colour version has a totally different feel, a really intense feel… I can’t really explain it. I may upload that one too, just to get some feedback on the both of them side by side. Hello my friend, we meet again / It’s been awhile, where should we begin? / Feels like forever / Within my heart are memories / Of perfect love that you gave to me / Oh, I remember When you are with me, I’m free / I’m careless, I believe / Above all the others we’ll fly / This brings tears to my eyes / My sacrifice We’ve seen our share of ups and downs / Oh how quickly life can turn around / In an instant / It feels so good to reunite / Within yourself and within your mind / Let’s find peace there When you are with me, I’m free / I’m careless, I believe / Above all the others we’ll fly / This brings tears to my eyes / My sacrifice I just want to say hello again / I just want to say hello again When you are with me I’m free / I’m careless, I believe / Above all the others we’ll fly / This brings tears to my eyes / Cause when you are with me I am free / I’m careless, I believe / Above all the others we’ll fly / This brings tears to my eyes / My sacrifice, My sacrifice I just want to say hello again / I just want to say hello again My sacrifice. My Sacrifice Lyrics by Creed

Landscape and PP work – Me Model image by the lovely Barssel Sacrifice – Tatu Can you tell me, softly / How you’ll always haunt me / Can you help me / Hold me / Come to me now, slowly / You caress me, smoothly / Calm my fears and soothe me / Move your hands across me / Take my worries from me I will sacrifice / I will sacrifice / All I have in life / To clear my conscience I will sacrifice / I will sacrifice / All I have in life / Sacrifice, sacrifice / Can you feel me, solely / Deeper still and wholly / With your understanding / And your arms around me / Can you help me / Hold me / Whisper to me, softly / Move your hands across me / Take my worries from me I will sacrifice / I will sacrifice / All I have in life / To clear my conscience / I will sacrifice / I will sacrifice / All I have in life / Sacrifice, sacrifice / I will sacrifice / Will sacrifice / Will sacrifice / Will sacrifice I will sacrifice / I will sacrifice / All I have in life / To clear my conscience / I will sacrifice / I will sacrifice / All I have in life / Sacrifice, sacrifice

Goat. Photo based illustration. “The scapegoat was a goat that was driven off into the wilderness as part of the ceremonies of Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, in Judaism during the times of the Temple in Jerusalem. The rite is described in Leviticus 16. / The word is more widely used as a metaphor, referring to someone who is blamed for misfortunes, generally as a way of distracting attention from the real causes.” (quoted anonymous)

I would like to dedicate this image to all our fallen heroes and their loved ones; please know you will be remembered and appreciated forever. (This image is a composite of three photos, one of a soldier at Fort Polk, Louisiana, one of a flag taken at Spanish Lake in Iberia Parish, one of a country road connecting the rice fields near Kaplan, Louisiana. The background layer is the rice field road; I selected and pasted the flag and the soldier onto this background and used the sliders in the layers palette to control opacity and to give them an other worldly look. The background had the Orton effect applied. All this was done in PhotoShop Elements 6.0 for Macs). This image was inspired by Mark Graham my husband’s cousin, who gave his life in Iraq

25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; 26 and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?” / John 11:25-26 (ANIV)

Words for MY COUNTRY / By: Dale Crum / My Country is called AMERICA… the Land of the FREE and the Home of the BRAVE… My Precious FLAG is RED; dyed in the most costly pigment on planet earth… millions of gallons of rich royal crimson blood… Freely spilled from the hearts of the bravest men, and women our fair land had to offer… and WHITE… the color of blank pages of great hopeful anticipation, for the next wondrous chapters of our grand history yet to be written… and Blessed BLUE… the hallowed Star-filled night sky looming over us all… The indigo heavens which the fallen last looked upon… through blood flooded eyes… whispering brave cries of love… knowing the sparkling kisses of these same fading stars… tenderly cloak their loved ones back home… for whom they willing laid down their precious lives… TRUEST PATRIOTS ONE AND ALL! / I DO THIS DAY CREATE THIS PIECE IN HONOR OF THEE! WOE BE UNTO ALL those who would to denigrate, defile, and slander one drop of their blessed crimson flow… mistake not our pause… as a sign of weakness or of falling… but as a time of prayer and calling… unto the One who forged this land of Blessing, of Protection, of Freedom… for we have been faithful guardians over planet earth… the strong arm of bravery when tyrants sought to oppress… What color flag is it that bludgeoned eyes long to see rise ore the burning horizons of a million scorched hills? Tis the Red, and the White, and Star Kissed Blue! None other flag has given such great hope… none other flag has rescued more prisoners… none other flag has paid such a horrible price… none other flag but mine. Buzzard Fools are circling my flag this darkening day… smelling the air for the stench of death… brushing my sacred banner all too closely… roosting in trees rooted in treasonous bloated bellies… BUT HEAR ME WELL YE COWARDS… THIS EAGLE IS NOT BROKEN… SHE STILL SOARS… AND NOW ROARS OUT HER WARNING… HERE AND NOW… AND FOREVER MORE! SHE IS AMERICA… AND SHE IS MY COUNTRY!

In honour of the 11th day of the 11th month; the day that recalls the end of World War I, I fold 11 poppies from 15×15mm pieces of paper. The cross is also made from paper. Remembrance Day – also know as Poppy Day, Armistice Day or Veterans Day – is a day to commemorate the sacrifice of members of the armed forces and of civilians in times of war, specifically since the First World War. It is observed on 11 November to recall the end of World War I on that date in 1918. Source: Wikipedia The poppy’s significance to Remembrance Day is a result of Canadian military physician John McCrae’s poem “In Flanders Fields”. This poem has also been adapted as a song: In Flanders fields the poppies blow / Between the crosses, row on row / That mark our place; and in the sky / The larks, still bravely singing, fly / Scarce heard ‘mid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago / We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow / Loved and were loved, and now we lie / In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe / To you from failing hands we throw / The torch; be yours to hold it high. / If ye break faith with us who die / We shall not sleep / Though poppies grow / In Flanders fields. For a better idea of scale: / Taken Nov. 4, 2009 with an Olympus FE-340 / / / / Also available at Zazzle
