This is an oil pastel on mixed media paper, using vibrant colors, but it's called Abu Sayda for a reason. This is where I served a couple of years in Combat in Iraq. This depicts a Mother and her two daughter walking through the village of Abu Sayda in the Diyala Province of Iraq. Notice the palm groves in the back amongst their wood and clay homes. The Diyala river makes this village fresh, not as desert like most people vision Iraq is.

That donation first covers the cost of the supplies I need to keep creating.
