Self Portrait........20"x 16".........oil on canvas...2005

I painted this portrait at the same time I painted the other one called "Hiker"
I have refine this one more than the "Hiker".
I decided use photo instead of using mirror. The mirror will flip the image
and not see as other person will see me.

Maj. Gen. Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson ...10"x 8" ...oil on board 2006

Read a book by Frank E. Vandiver called Mighty Stonewall. I've painted this portrait of him from the picture that was taken two weeks before his death. One of the legendary general of confederate army that Lee couldn't do without until his death in May of 1863. Shot by his own man during reconaissance stroll with his staff in the cover of darkness at Chancellorsville he was mortally wounded and died 8 days later. It was very intrigue and fasinating read. I will be painting more of American Civil War images. What a amazing time that was.
