"the great deep"

This striking portrait, part of Munro's ‘Be Men of Courage' series, is a masterful creation. The subject, the face of a bearded man, is rendered in monochromatic black, yet his piercing purple-blue eyes glisten with the hint of restrained tears. His black hair and beard are adorned with red remembrance poppies and delicate, branch-like green leaves, creating a vivid contrast to his otherwise dark visage. The deep crimson 'Ben Day' dots add a sense of depth and texture to his complexion.
 
In sharp juxtaposition, the background bathes the scene in a light, vibrant turquoise. Delicately written in fine cursive black paint, the word 'remembrance' appears as if scribed with an ink-dipped quill, evoking a sense of timelessness. This piece captures the essence of courage and reflection, making it a significant addition to Munro's exploration of the ‘Be Men of Courage' theme.
