I did the right panel when the The Battle of Aleppo (Arabic: معركة حلب ) started in 2012. One look at a map and you knew it would be horrific in the end. The first defenders looked like kids and I wanted to combine that image with western art to get the message out to artists.

The Snow Leopard by Peter Bardazzi.  54 x 84".  Oil on canvas 1982

There is a quote at the beginning of Ernest Hemingway's  The Snows of Kilimanjaro:

"Kilimanjaro is a snow-covered mountain 19,710 feet high, and is said to be the highest mountain in Africa. Its western summit is called the Masai "Ngaje Ngai," the House of God. Close to the western summit there is the dried and frozen carcass of a leopard. No one has explained what the leopard was seeking at that altitude."

This short story ends with one of the most penetrating and hallucinogenic vision of death. When I painted the picture many years later I had become aware by then of death's many forms, meanings and appearances.

My painting on the cover of Lynn Kozak’s new book, Experiencing Hektor.  Nice choice.  Its fun because, I always wanted to be part of the trojan war on the side of the greeks as a kid, hanging out with Achilles, but this book cover is cool too. See it in the book stores and on Amazon December 1.
