Well it's done. I'll be mailing it off the first of the month. I made a couple changes along the way. One change I made was to the Fireman's helmet. I thought about putting my own city name on the helmet to be as a symbol of where the artist is from, but I don't think our fire helmet's are black so it wouldn't look right. I couldn't figure out what to put on the helmet, so I thought of using the name of a real fireman who passed on the job. I googled firemen killed recently and up came a story from Boston. Two firefighters were killed in a fire in Boston about a month ago. One of them was Lt. Edward Walsh, so I used his name. So the painting which is supposed to be a memorial to fallen rescue workers, Cops and Firemen, does include the name of a real fireman who's been killed. I used the number 64 because that is something that is more personal to me. It's also two numbers in my phone number.
