Conflicts surrounding serenity? Sky and foreground have embattled color and textural contrasts… field of peace homestead and middle ground. Antietam was location of a huge Civil War battle. Namesake road in North Iredell Co. Yes.. much lies under my surface these days! 💙✌️

The colour of the sky had me perplexed but its the deciduous trees that make the painting powerful. Very good indeed 👌

22,727 died on both sides. The bloodiest day in U.S. History.... the battle took place between woodland and fields....I can see the reasoning behind your work now.
The trees remind me of the soldiers who would have fought with the branches shaped like bayonets held aloft.
Is the building in anyway a resemblance or a symbolic portrayal of Dunker Church where much of the fighting took place or did you decide not to leave that impression?
Both the U.S. and U.K. are anything but united at the moment.
