“Out Of The Sky They Fell” is an airborne painting based on a photo that evokes memories of D Day and Normandy.

I used to live near a skydiving airport. Every day you would hear the sound of chutes opening overhead and look up to see them opening and gliding to the ground. It’s so peaceful and fun to watch.

With the military, it’s the calm before the storm they bring. Airborne is elite and one of the most storied units in the army. I love painting these.
