This is a picture of Lukas Macke. He is a local man, born and raised on Evansville’s Westside. he is married and the father of 4 girls. This is portrait was done from pictures Lukas supplied. The site depicts a real life event. Lukas is flying in a Chinock helicopter which is taking him to Kandahar Air Base where he will find a plane to take him home. The light is coming from the back of the scene because the back of the Chinock was open. There was a military gunner suspended in the opening manning a 240 gun and his job was to scan and shoot down enemy fire.
Lukas served with the Navy Seabees and was a heavy equipment operator. Lukas was not young when he joined the military, he was 32 and running close the age limit. He was married and had at the time 2 children at home. He had always wanted to serve but other things kept getting in the way. When he finally had the opportunity he went for it.
This painting is part of a show under development called “Spirit within Conflict”. It is set to launch in 2017 and will be shown nationally.

If clicking on the picture showed the work at a larger size it would make the art much more viewable.
