Day 5 Burying the Dead

                                       “Bronx Funeral “oil on canvas 122x183cm

There were very few images of soldiers funerals allowed in the media but I saw a small photograph in a local newspaper of a funeral in the Bronx that really got to me. The image was of a grieving father surrounded by his family trying to hold him up.

I did some drawings and then did a larger painting.
