CHALLENGE #47 AND AEDM #9

This weeks Diva's challenge is to create something for Rememberance Day. I began with the red poppies then it became a tribute to my Dad who went down with the HMAS Perth in 1942, together with the US Ship HSS Houston. There is no memorial place to visit here in Victoria for my Dad, so now I can put one on the internet!! Plus frame my little piece. What a waste of so many good men and women, but their sacrifice has kept us free. Thank you. I wont forget. Interesting that my last grandson was born on the 11/11/10.
Media: .005 and .01 pens, watercolour paints on watercolour paper.

  1. My goodness, this is lovely. What a great tribute! The tangles and use of color are so cool.
