Order Endures, Earl Grenville Killeen, 1983, watercolor.
This ironically-titled painting was created for an exhibition called "Art and the Law". I was drawn to the theme of firearms use, having lost several fellow-teenaged shipmates on shore patrol to civilians armed with guns. In this depiction, what led to the gun lying next to spatters of blood is ambiguous, but the impact on the fabric of society is suggested by the broken tile floor. NFS
