Pastel Painting

One in a series of nine paintings and drawings
on the United States Coast Guard in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, from the artist's deployment,
May, 2002.

In the wake... of September 11, 2001, PSU 305 from Fort Eustis, VA, was called to active duty in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. This 25' Boston Whaler was the typical craft the USCG used to patrol the waters. The GTMO Lighthouse/Museum in the background is the standout landmark for this long-time US Naval base. Various communications towers line the hillside above it. (May 2002)
