After doing yard work and in between brush strokes THIS day... we put up the brand new- out of the box- American Flag!
Even though now I claim dual citizenship with the KINGDOM of HEAVEN and the United States of America, I still proudly salute the American Flag and to both The UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION, along with The Republic which it represents!
ONE nation under God with LIBERTY and JUSTICE for ALL.
I repeat ONE nation. A United Nation...not a divided nation and woe to THOSE who divide and who are divisive!
We don't have the final say so...ONLY GOD WILL JUDGE US!
IT'S IN PROPHECY IT'S ALREADY BEEN WRITTEN AND IT'S PLAYING OUT AS WE SPEAK!!
GOD BLESS AMERICA!
THANKS DAD!

"Cheyenne Crossing"
Union Pacific Big Boy 4014 is in a holding position as it prepares to storm west out of Cheyenne, Wyoming, during the winter of 1954.
A "Greyhound Challenger-Class locomotive hustles its charge around the Big Boy with a sense of urgency.
Following this procession, west will be a gas turbine powered freight train.
Overhead, a Burlington Railroad freight train heads north out of cheyenne towards Great Falls, Montana,
which is the birthplace of the Artist.

This portrait provided the artist an opportunity to use light as a platform upon which to build contrast as a creative tool to enhance realism .
The waiter at the rear of the train is a self-portrait of the artist as a Waiter aboard THE SOUTHWEST LIMITED
