Ghosts of the Past #5 Not currently for sale, please inquire if interested. (Photo credit: Gen. George Thomas and a group of officers at a council of war near Ringgold, Ga., May 5, 1864. 77-HMS-344-2P.) Finished this painting tonight! I think this battle is over. I don't normally like to talk too much about the symbolism and ideas behind my paintings, I like to just put them out there and see what people get from them. I'm happy to discuss when prompted, though! .....

So, as you can see in my previous post, I had glued down two images. One was of these officers and the other was an image of clouds. I wanted to cast a heavy storm above their heads and give these men an outward glow. The General is given an iconic treatment.
