Rick Reeves combines exquisite detail with incredible authenticity
as one of the country's leading historical artists. He was recognized
initially as a Civil War artist. He has since published prints covering
battles and scenes from the American Revolutionary War, the Lewis and
Clark Expedition, the Plains Indian Wars, the Mexican and American War,
the Spanish American War, and World War II.
Born in Tampa, Florida, Rick
studied art at Southampton College on Long Island, University of South
Florida in Tampa, and graduated from Florida State University with a
degree in Studio Art. He has now been an independent historical artist
for over 20 years. Rick is married and has three children.
What Will Tomorrow Bring? - July 2, 1863
General Meade's Army of the Potomac and General Lee's Army of Northern
Virginia have been battling each other for two straight days at
Gettysburg. As the regiments along the Union center grab a few hours
rest, they know General Lee has only one option left to him. A mile
distant the enemy campfires burn, as numerous as the stars in the sky.
Every Union soldier is absorbed with his own thoughts of what's coming.
Each man deals with those thoughts in their own way, wondering just what will tomorrow bring? |
