The Military Museums of Calgary

The Journey to Remembrance continues its own journey as I have loaned the painting indefinitely at The Military Museums of Calgary as I seek a buyer.

I love the symbolism of where the painting is currently being displayed.  As one leaves The Founder's Gallery, the image appears in the distance.  Walking towards these soldiers, the viewer begins to walk with them until reaching the painting to contemplate their own journey to remembrance.

Perhaps this journey for some begins very quickly...for people like myself, those ah ha moments take time to become tangible. Then they are so tangible that wearing the poppy no longer feels like quite enough and there is an urgency to do more.
