Shot of Courage

Shot of Courage

6x6, soft pastel

These days Australia is on everyone’s mind. It seems the whole continent is on fire. I pray for quenching rains and the well being of everyone involved. The “shot of courage” above is for the Australian firefighters. The medal in this painting is their fire service award which is awarded for distinguished service by a member of the Australian fire service. May they persevere through these difficult times. Once again we are reminded that firefighters around the world are our heros.

Fun fact...the head of the Queen is only 1/2 inch...it was a challenge to paint it and get it to somewhat resemble the Queen...pearls and all.
