Memorial Day was originally called Decoration Day - a time set aside to honor fallen soldiers of the Civil War by decorating their graves with flowers. The first Decoration Day was observed on May 30, 1868, three years after the end of the Civil War. On that day, the largest known ceremony was held at Arlington National Cemetery, across the river from Washington D.C. Read More
This Memorial Day weekend, we honor and thank all of the men and women who have served our country.
Today Ten Paces And Draw organized a small collection of Where The Wild Things Are pieces for a tribute to author and illustrator, Maurice Sendak. Here is my contribution along with a few others. I also started selling my original ink/watercolor drawings, you can purchase this one on my Etsy.
