| Annie's watercolor of Taps trumpeter I saw a man walking through the old veterans graves. He was carrying a trumpet and soon he lifted it and began playing Taps. It was such a moving sight that I asked if he would let me paint him ~ Annie |

 Brad's watercolor of Veteran's Day Flag Salute at Oak Hill Memorial Park |
| What a perfect day of plein air painting we all enjoyed: Sunny, warm, almost windless, well maintained green lawns, the changing/yellowing sycamore trees, and rows of flags in the Veterans section made for a special milieu that begged to be painted and, especially since it was Veterans Day, contemplated. At 11:00 AM, altho' there were no special ceremonies, Taps were played and could be heard where most of us set up ~ Brad |
