Beautifully done Dave! Lo e the composition.

Wow, dear Dave, as you read the description you are imagining the situation in the painting, which really takes you there. An exceptional work of art, immersive and as vivid as (I guess) the memory itself. Magnificent piece! L/F/T

Beautiful, thoughtful work Dave.

Hi, Dave -- at first glance this seems just like a beautiful and serene tropical village; a lovely landscape, abundant trees and flowers and verdant grasslands. Then the true meaning of this fabulous work of art hits home and the impact is profound. So well done, indeed. L/F

Revisiting this recreation of a memory... in trying times revisiting allows the passing of time to heal the heart. blessings on you, Dave Farrow... Thank you for putting so much of yourself in art.

David, I just finished watching "Vietnam" documentary by Ken Burns tonight. (it took me a week of broken hours so I could stay attentive) then I ran across your page when I searched for some of the iconic photography that was used in the film. I was a young girl when you were fighting, thank you so much for your service. I weep in spirit when I think of the turmoil you and all our armed services endured and glad you are here to share your art and soulful creations here today. This is meaningful work, your story must be told so we can learn from the folly of the tragedy of war. I pray that now all serenity and peace will embrace you as often as possible. Great work and important work...F/L

If I could have a single wish, I’d wish that we could undo all of the horrible things that wars bring and put in its place a place of tranquility and peace that is eternal like heaven! This is such a beautiful place, Dave, of tranquility before the storm...my wish for you and other soldiers is for healing from the war-torn memories and the ability to go to a special place in your mind whenever the storm threatens! Thank you for your service, Dave! May God bless you and your family! L/F/FB!

So pretty! Lf

Marvelous work, Dave. F/L

Remembrance

Dave, the horror, the courage, the memories, all here. Not my personal memories of course, I can only imagine. But all of this in such beauty Dave. In such a wonder as our earth. I can't help but love your painting because of its immense beauty. The clouds, the fields, the trees, the flowers. the colors. I wish peace to all and find it time and again in your beautiful works. L/F

I know that I have commented already, but the story behind this work commands my attention every time that I see it. It is no secret that I am always put somehow at peace when I view your gallery Dave. What really draws me closer in is the understanding that you are sharing something intensely personal with many of these images. While many of the people who were a part of these experiences may no longer be with you, you are here to share the tales that lie behind your eyes. This adds so much more depth to what I am looking at. I feel that I am drawn deeper than the paint... closer than the panel. I am happy that you are here to share these tales with us Dave.

Beautiful artwork that tells a story!

Such a beautiful and peaceful looking scene, and yet... Very powerful contrast between appearance and reality. Gorgeous and impactful work!

Beautiful scenery, greatly painted, well done Dave !

Great work with memories of a war zone which looked so peaceful ! Nature is so kind always but it cannot change humans!!! Your painting is a symbol of serenity of nature,dear Dave! (F/L)

Man... I simply cannot get over the tranquility that I feel whenever I look at your works. It never gets old. I'm proud to present you with the "Enlightenment Achieved lifetime achievement award".

First sign of a great painting personally is sense of place and pulling me into the scene. Well, this one does, as many of your works do. Great art Dave. Onward. F/L.

Revisiting this gorgeous, golden favorite!

A stunning beauty, so fascinating and captivating...A phenomenal piece, Dave! l/f/tw

This is such a wonderful painting Dave! I'm sorry that you have to have memories of this type! We all hope that war will become a thing of the past! You deserve the gold medal sir!!! Someday I want to meet you and buy you a nice ice cold beer! And as many of them as you want ! I know that that won't cover all the hardship that you had to deal with in the 60s and 70s but it's the least of what I could do for you! You're a wonderful friend with a wonderful heart! LF
