Faces of the Fallen

This portrait exhibition was organized to honor the more than 1,300 men and women in the US Armed Services who lost their lives in the Afghanistan and Iraq wars.  The portraits were painted by some 200 artists from all over the country on the basis of photographs provided by the families or the military units with which they served.  All of the finished portraits, including the five which I was asked to provide, were shown at an exhibition for five months in 2005 at the Arlington National Cemetery, before traveling throughout the States and eventual donation to the families.
