Artist Notes: This is the first in the "In The World" series. I hope the paintings evoke connection, and maybe a strong feeling in the viewer. I had permission to use a news photo by Atef Hassan, courtesy of Reuters, as a model for the Basra figures in the painting. They are Shiite militia members July 16, 2007.

Acrylic on stretched canvas on heavy duty stretchers, with painted sides. A frame is not necessary. SOLD
