I did see a painting somehwere done by a soldier fighting in Afghanistan, so I think it's still being done. There's nothing like 'actual' drawing, done 'in situ' - they do reflect the horror of war in a much more intimate, emotional way.Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919246184376538331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-27818747532550606492011-05-29T13:11:24.590-04:002011-05-29T13:11:24.590-04:00These look absolutely stunning !

I'm glad this new exhibition will draw attention to them and to what they saw and suffered through. (Not to mention their artistry in the face of death and destruction.)<br /><br />I saw the documentary (They Drew Fire) a while back but I think I might like to see it again.Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919246184376538331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-85410473764494820442011-05-29T12:19:52.102-04:002011-05-29T12:19:52.102-04:00They are all stunning.They are all stunning.Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17786139533776263328noreply@blogger.com
