Breaking through the Line

   Living near the Wilson's Creek Battlefield, I decided to start art based on themes that reflect the struggle that was witnessed here 150 years ago. Throughout this year there will commemorative events that will remind us of that day.  Later this year there will be a reenactments of that battle and I intend to attend them.
   This pencil sketch is a first in a series of works I will do this year.  This represents a mounted CS soldier who is riding his horse through a break in the line firing his weapon.
