An acrylic painting of an aerial view of a scene at the municipality of Bryson’s war memorial. In the center of an esplanade with trees, on top is a war monument with a cross, one flagpole on each side, with the Fleur-de-lis and the Canadian flags flying, and below is an artillery gun. In between, scattered groups of naked human figures, priests, nuns, and veterans, marching band with a horse. Clothed humans are watching from the outskirt road next to cars. In the background, buildings and signs, a hill and voluptuous clouds in the horizon.
