Turner Tribute
to 9/11

"Out of the Ashes"
2002 original oil painting 48x60 inches was commissioned by Randy Dean in November of 2001. He told me that something good had come out of 9/11; an increase of faith in God , love of country, and the brotherhood of all Americans. He wanted the painting to include the Pentagon, the WTC wreckage, the trees from the crash site in Pennsylvania, the Statue of Liberty, and people holding hands emerging out of the smoke and ashes. I thought the people holding hands part would appear corny, but as I researched the painting I kept finding photographs of people during the events holding hands and holding each other up. After he described the concept he wanted portrayed, I said that I sure hoped he was going to commission me to paint the painting because it was the kind of painting I love to do. There are 150 individuals in the painting including victims, leaders from both sides of the aisle, rescuers, survivors and others. They make a determined united movement toward the viewer of the painting.

There are three versions of the image, the original with FDNY's famous flag raising, the Port Authorities version with 12 added portraits of some of the people they had lost, and the NYPD version where the flag raising that the Police Department had is central and the portraits of Cheif Joe Esposito Cheif Mike Scagnali have been added. All of these versions are available as giclees or light jet prints on watercolor paper. Lithographs are also available in an addition of 2500 signed and numbered.
