Remembrance.

 Armistice Day - Remembrance Day:

At the Eleventh hour, of the Eleventh Day, of the Eleventh month -  Armistice.
We remember them, with a two minute silence.

For my Grandfather, mustard gassed in the Great War.
We were fortunate that he lived, although his life was shortened. He passed away when I was six years old.

For all who suffered and fell in that war and all the wars after -

 We remember.

  8. What a lovely painting of remembrance!
    That is sad about your grandfather.
    We need to teach the next generations of the sacrifices that have been made.

  9. Thank you, Tonya.
    Mustard gas caused dreadful suffering, attacking the lungs. Somehow my grandad remained cheerful though he suffered. I wish he'd been around for longer xx

  10. This is wonderful Pat! So soft and beautiful :0) Poppy's are my favourite flower. I have almost finished painting some poppy's myself too, though in a very different style to this and using acrylics. I hope to get a chance to finish them in the morning and post over the weekend :0)
