Image 47 of 58

54 in. X 72 in., oil on canvas I painted this when Bush #1 invaded Iraq. It started out as a quick drawing and I imediately transferred the image to a large canvas that I had ready. I usually don't get into political commentary, but for some reason all of the empty rhetoric about fighting for Kwait's freedom just struck a chord with me. Hard to believe it's almost two decades later and we seem to be running full steam in reverse.
