This is a belated birthday present for Mr. Outback. One of his two tours in Vietnam was with an aviation group that called themselves "Blue Stars." Maria at Personalized Sketches and Sentiments drew the unit's insignia and added a replica of Mr. Outback's Senior Army Aviator wings.
She did a wonderful job - look closely - the drawing is composed of Mr. Outback's name...Maria's attention to detail and her artistic skill really shines! (Click on each image for an enlargement)

ReplyDeleteOh! Pat, thank you for sharing John's piece on your blog & for your very kind words about the art I do. I loved doing these images in John's name and love how you double matted and framed it. I'm also happy that John is enjoying your gift :o) Please tell him again -Thank you for his military service!
