Pfc Shane Michael Reifert The Swan.

This swan was done for Kitty Reifert. She doesn't know it yet but will receive it when she gets her picture of her son, Pfc Shane Reifert. I got the original Picture from her blog, Myfallensoldier.blogspot.com. I drew it in appreciation of her blog about her son. It is so well written. She says that her son's on line gaming name was swan. When she went to the zoo this year on the aniversery of the last time she was with her son at the zoo, this swan put on a show for her which she caught on her camera. So thank you Kitty your personal insights.

Pfc Shane Michael Reifert, Au-sable light house

This is a picture of the Au-sable light house. I painted it for my brother. He never asks for much so when he does I like to try to give him what he wants. He has two other light houses on his living room wall and this one should fit well.

If you have time please read the blog: Myfallensoldier.blogspot.com It is a wonderful tribute to

Pfc Shane Michael Reifert

Thank you.

Flower, Art Prize,Pfc Shane Michael Reifert

This is a 12X16" painting done with watercolor paints in a tub. I am finding that some things are done better with this technique and others are done better with with the water color pencil. I guess the combo is OK. There is now some lag time before art prize and I find myself painting a lot of flowers, a dog, a baby and then more flowers. I have stopped worrying about Art Prize and am just trying to beat the heat in Michigan. I continue to enjoy reading the blog: My fallen soldier.blogspot.com Both his mother and sister are very good writers and although I don't read well it is worth the struggle. I appreciate their honesty and thoughts. Thank you.
