Label TextVeteran: Scott L., US ArmyThe essence of this print is founded in my attempt to capture the better part of the ‘best and the worst’ experience that Scott shared with me about his time in Iraq. Some of the best experiences are rooted in the people he met there, found in the children who followed him around and relished his heart to teach and reach people through his own gifts as an artist. He also found one in the heart of an old woman, who was labeled as crazy and hidden in a remote Monastery, yet she possessed the spiritual intuition to bless our men. One print can only do so much to encompass the sacrifice and honor of our veterans. It can never capture the depth and truth of their stories and choice to serve. It was a privilege to hear them and try. Thank you Scott.
