I can’t tell you how happy I am about this. I know I’m a bit selfish, but our plein air painting group in Hawaii has a member who was deployed 5 times to Afghanistan. He went back even when his son was born. When we asked why, he said he sent his men out and they sometimes returned badly injured or with missing limbs. He could not leave these people behind.
Stress was very high where his group was. He got most of them to paint the Afghani sky and landscape to relax. We would send so much art supply to his troop that he finally had to ask us to stop. Now he is back in Hawaii! Finally.
