    Default At The Going Down of The Sun

    This is my tribute to all those that gave so much from all around the world.
    I named it "At The Going Down of The Sun" because of the lines of the verse as well as the soldier silhouetted against the setting sun I then added some poppies for that little extra way of remembering the fallen.

    Made from Field maple and then sprayed using an airbrush and finished with an acrylic gloss varnish. It stands 8 3/4" and is 3 1/4" at the widest point

    I like it, although initially the poppies looked like red lipstick kisses until i looked at the enlarged pics

    Thank you guys,

    Just to let you know what will happen to this piece after my club meeting Saturday I will be taking it to my local Royal British Legion branch and giving it to them as a donation so they can help servicemen and women both serving and retired
