60" x 60" venetian plaster on canvas painting with an excerpt from a poem by the artist embedded in the texture.
(first stanza of the following) 
"Stars falling out of orbit
Trees swaying misaligned 
Embers making marks
Their smoldering inspired
“Hear Hear!” their cries predicted
The shifting of the line
With hopeful  force of brigadier
And gravitas refined.
Rewarded Spartan chivalry
Devotion to mankind
A panoply of contentment
Their vision aptly signed."
