AEDM day 7 - Importance of Art Every Day

Something different today.  I am sharing with you "Art Every Day" by my father.

This is a little ink and watercolor sketch done my father while he was serving in the Marine Corps during World War II.  It's a small drawing, about 5 x 6, and is one of several.  Framed and hanging in my office is a 32 x 20 drawing which still has the fold marks from being carried with him in a knapsack throughout his two years in the Pacific.  The detail in the large sketch in unbelievable.  Bombers overhead and men on the ground getting blood transfusions.  He fought both at Peleliu and Okinawa.  In horrible conditions, suffering and dying all around, he was sketching.  He had his art every day.
