I've got all the MOS sketches that MA Balinger did--they are great! The date on the ones I have are '81, and I have yet to find him or his drawings on the net.

Thanks for the info, Richard.

Watercolors are a tough medium - at least for me. Nice. 
I am looking forward to seeing the COL Bank portrait.

Its strange how difficulties are rated from artist to artist. To me, the art of sketching in any medium is difficult. You leave no room for error. Your rendering must be accurate and concise.
Water and Acrylics on the other hand is quite easy. You plop down a color you like, push it around with a brush and quit when it looks good to you. Nothing to it.
Thanks for displaying your talents. VERY nice.

swpa,
I agree. I find watercolor to be the easiest medium and most forgiving to work in. Oils, pastels and charcoal to me on the other hand are a nightmare and I tend to shy away. Pen and ink/watercolor wash are also a favorite of mine. Very nice piece BTW. Same goes for yours Richard. Both very nice works indeed.

Another soldier-artist who did work similar to LTC Cassady is George Finley.
Finley came on active duty in 1960, and retired in 1983.
Here is some of his work:

Col. Bank "A Special Forces Family Tree"
I finally downloaded my 3 1/2 floppy files to disc. Here is a painting that was made into prints. The original was donated to SFA Hq.
The photo is not of the greatest quality, Im afraid.
The painting was done in 1998, and represented the approved flashes that I had available to me at the time.
