This is a little 4″ x 6″ Painting. Less time to paint, but oh my, those details are little! At least I didn’t have to paint any bricks.
About Anwar al-Sadat
Egyptian president Anwar al-Sadat
won the 1978 Nobel Peace Prize in conjunction with Israeli prime
minister Menachim Begin for the Camp David Accords. He was born in Egypt
on December 25, 1918. He participated in the 1952 coup to oust the
corrupt King Farouk and became president in 1970. He led Egypt into the
Yom Kippur War to reclaim part of the Sinai Peninsula. When that failed,
he took the risky diplomatic path, opening the door to détente. He was
assassinated on October 6, 1981 by Muslim extremists.
