In this painting, warriors throughout our long history of fighting, from an ancient Persian phalanx to a GI from Vietnam, confront each other in what I imagined to be a final battle to end warfare. This scene is meant to be a detail of that imaginary final battle.

Because I use black lines around most images in my work, it makes it easier to combine figures from various historical times. Although the figures themselves can be quite different, the common outline ties them all together, which is beneficial because in a number of my works I do try to present some historical perspective. In this painting, showing fighters from over a twenty-five hundred year period emphasizes our long history of warfare.
