This is a shot of my drawing board (that I'm getting back to, heh heh) where the soldiers, Indians and civilians show up to be painted, one at a time. It can be kind of overwhelming sometimes, being in the company of all these people whose lives were over so suddenly, and who all share the same time of death, generally. It feels sad and overwhelming at times, and I find myself having to leave the studio. I had an idea when I first started this project that it would help ease their unrest, but I'm not so sure. I think sometimes they simply enjoy that someone is thinking about them, but rest in peace? Uh, no.
I'm three quarters of the way through F Company right now. I'll keep you posted with more photos later.
