James Stickland - The spirit lives on

Oil on canvas
100cm x 90cm

We met by chance paying our respects at Mooloolaba Dawn Service, darkness, quietness bar the odd shuffle and the cry of a baby not yet understanding why we were gathered. The stories told over the loud speakers describing the hardships of war, keeping the spirit of ANZAC alive. The sun rising to reveille, trumpeted on the bugle echoing along Mooloolaba Beach sending shivers amongst those who served and those who didn't. A child's version of a poppy field, remembrance, representing the understanding the younger generation have of this due to these traditional services. The sole realism poppy in the field portraying loyalty among others and the tightly grasped poppy describing the passing of respect, the love of country between father and daughter on this special day.
