This is such a beautiful piece I love the dichotomy of the style of painting with the subject matter.

“My piece addresses the mental health issues of soldiers and veterans. The idea of the well-being of soldiers blossomed from my admiration and concern for my older brother, who is training to become a marine officer. On the battlefield, soldiers suffer from far more than just physical injuries and scars; they are also psychologically wounded often to the point of never being the same. Countless soldiers and veterans suffer from PTSD, depression, alcohol abuse, anxiety, and suicide.”
Beautiful.
