The National Veterans Art Museum is honoring Memorial Day 2012 with the opening of a new mural installation, “War Made A New Me,” by Dominic (Dom) Fredianelli, one of the subjects of Where Soldiers Come From (POV 2011). Dom is in one of the museum galleries all week working on the mural before it is unveiled this Saturday, May 26 along with a film screening and artist’s talk. Check out his progress throughout the week here on the POV Blog.

It’s the day before the unveiling and the National Veterans Art Museum shared a few photos from their Facebook album “War Made A New Me” – A Work in Progress.

In order to reach the top of the ten-foot-high walls, Dominic works from a ladder.

The detail is layered on top of the acrylic paint background with paint pens.

Here's a good example of how Dominic adds dimensionality to his work.
