"Bloody Omaha Beach" by Marc
van Rooijen. "I made the painting
during the period of the 60th Anniversary of D-Day. Unfortunately
I couldnt visit the Anniversary but I saw it on National TV. I was really
impressed by the Celebrations and all the Veterans. I think these men are all
heroes for what they did during the War and they have undergone such difficult,
risk full and almost suicidal landings from men that weren't older than I am now
(24). So I wanted to express my respect somehow and that I tried to accomplish
by this painting". |
