A Quiet Tribute to Service, Honor, Courage, and Commitment
Created as a deeply personal commission for an elderly Navy veteran whose stories of life aboard the USS Lexington filled his final years, this pyrography work on birch plywood measures 10” × 14”. The carrier is rendered with careful burning and layered pigments to capture its scale, deck activity, and the vast sea around it. Originally given as a print to the veteran while he was in care, the original is now available. It stands as both a portrait of a historic ship and a testament to the enduring power of memory and gratitude.
The piece was born from conversations with the veteran’s family, who wanted something that would honor his service and the stories he loved to tell. Every fine line and shadow was burned with care to reflect the dignity and power of the ship he served on. The inspiration came from the veteran’s own vivid memories, transforming personal history into a lasting tribute to those who served aboard this legendary aircraft carrier.
Materials: Birch plywood, pyrography, layered pigments and specialty colored pencils.
Dimensions: 10” × 14”.
Price: $950
Purchasing Note: Serious inquiries welcome. Message for additional photos, shipping quote (fully insured professional packing), or payment options. This is a one-of-a-kind original artwork with deep personal significance. Limited similar commissions may be available on request.
