Another perspective


Merv Appleton writes of this work: Reflections
"In this painting I have tried to depict the terrible destruction of war and the effect it has on our lives. Here as the dust settles, a mother and her children who have lost everything stop at a young fallen soldier’s grave to reflect on the ultimate sacrifice he has given for peace".
