Here is my contribution to this small but wonderful collaboration in help to remember those Australian and New Zealand soldiers who fought all those years ago on the shores of Gallipoli, many losing their lives to keep our home shores safe. With morning dawn services just hours away my heart is back home today with my fellow Aussie’s and friends and family with whom many loved ones were lost. Thank you Jenn McMillan for putting this together for us it is a great tribute.https://www.facebook.com/pages/Anzac-Day-100-years-on-a-sweet-tribute/1585827411659872?fref=photo

I did a yellow wash first then added a little more depth with some added stray strokes of deeper color. I hand painted poppies and marching soldiers using cocoa butter with each stem of the poppies to commemorate each soldier.
