Colossus Stir.
By targeting the central military institution of the
United States of America, the Pentagon, terrorists of the world soon
learned of the mistake they made. Summoning the spirits of the American
military past, we garnered new strength and positioned ourselves for the
modern world war. Major American campaigns are represented in this
spiritual piece, from the Revolutionary War, to the Spanish-American War,
to the earlier Gulf War.
Within the painting exist several pieces of hidden symbolism. Even the
positioning of the soldiers in the piece has meaning, with the
Revolutionary soldier leading the way, and the World War II veteran
standing center, for he fought to defend his grandchildren and now they
must fight a new enemy.
Note from the Artist:
I will be dedicating thirty percent of the money received to families of
Georgia-native soldiers who died in Iraq and Afghanistan during these
modern campaigns. There will be many more such symbolic paintings to come
so check my website often. All paintings going to print will dedicate a
percentage of the proceeds to a relevant charity of my choosing.
