IF-CRACKED

It's been a long time since I contributed to Illustration Friday forum. The topic this week was CRACKED. How could I let that pass? Well, I almost did.

WW2 CALVARY MAN

I painted this acrylic sketch for a get well card my wife gave her 92 year old uncle Rudy. He was in the U.S. Calvary in W.W. II before they transformed it into an Armored division. He's a great guy and lived through some of the best and worst times this country's seen. I used an internet photo for reference so this doesn't actually look like him.
