Larry Smail and Robert Bowser with Original painting
All things are finally falling into place in regards to the original acrylic painting entitled, “THE WHEATFIELD- WHIRLPOOL OF DEATH” The organizing of the plans are taking shape also. I will be attending an event at Old Bedford Village on Saturday of this upcoming weekend. The event is known as “Meet The Generals.”
I will have the original 40″X24″ painting on hand, as well as, some of the limited edition and special anniversary prints on hand to sell. The print size is 19″x28.6″ with an image of 16″x26.7″.
The prints depict the 62nd Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, as part of Colonel Jacob B. Sweitzer’s Second Brigade, First Division, Fifth Corps on the evening of July 2, 1863. The timing of the conflict was during the Wheatfield battle of the great Gettysburg campaign. Many of these brave soldiers came from my home county of Armstrong County, Pennsylvania.
