Over-all progress.Tomorrow our country will be remembering the attack of eight years ago. 9/11 will never be forgotten. It is only appropriate to paint my tribute to those we lost on that day ....on that date. The monument in NYC is two beams of lights symbolizing the Twin Towers. I will be painting Two Towers of Pageant Blue color. This will be simple but very symbolic. Many have shared their views of including or excluding this on the mural. This is a piece of public art and opinions will always be varied. I know how I feel about 9/11. Many friends have loved ones serving due to that day. Maybe not directly due to the attack, because of the emotion it evoked to sign up and serve our country. We are now in two wars, War in Afghanistan and War in Iraq. Weather you agree with the wars or not.....we still are in them. We have to stand together and support our Troops!
The revision of the Memorial to the SS. Arizona. After studying my design , This is a better tribute then illustrating the actual event of the attack. It shows how Americans overcome adversity and remain strong. I will be adding more detail of the ship shadowed beneath the monument. 
Completed Gulf War tribute. I appreciate the input of Mr. Duke and Roger Gann.
