I bought this in the greeting card form. I have been purchasing cards from Fine Art America for two or three years. Covid might have been some of the reason for looking for cards on the internet. Shops were closed. The main reason I buy cards from FAA is because I got tired of looking for cards at the usual card shops. I could find cards (sometimes) that looked good on the outside but the verses were terrible or it was the other way around...terrible on the outside but maybe a decent verse inside. I pick cards from FAA that fit with the occasion. I figure I can write something on the inside as good as any card company could. I wouldn't buy these cards if I didn't think they were wonderful. The cards are beautiful and excellent quality and the envelopes are equality as good. I am glad I can make a copy of what I've bought so I can keep track of who gets what card. I don't want to send the same card to someone twice. In this case, the card is going to someone for Mother's Day.

My dear Sarah:
The indications are very strong that we shall move in a few days - perhaps tomorrow. Lest I should not be able to write you again, I feel impelled to write lines that may fall under your eye when I shall be no more. Our movement may be one of a few days duration and full of pleasure - and it may be one of severe conflict and death to me. Not my will, but thine 0 God, be done. If it is necessary that I should fall on the battlefield for my country, I am ready. I have no misgivings about, or lack of confidence in, the cause in which I am engaged, and my courage does not halt or falter. I know how strongly American Civilization now leans upon the triumph of the Government, and how great a debt we owe to those who went before us through the blood and suffering of the Revolution. And I am willing - perfectly willing - to lay down all my joys in this life, to help maintain this Government, and to pay that debt.

My one regret is that having lost the battle with leukemia, I have to let go of something so special to me. I won't say goodbye - just may your lives be blessed as you have blessed mine."

Lianne, I saw the image, saw the title and immediately the strains of Ashoken Farewell rang in my mind. Great work. - Mike (V)
Joseph Levine
Lianne -- the thoughts, textures, emotions, historical data & patriotic pride you have skillfully layered with such a gossamer touch upon this artful re-enactment -- fit together as organically as the skins of an onion. When peeled away one by one, they evoke in the viewer tears of joy at having been allowed to share vicariously in the pathos that enveloped the original event. Blessings & gratitude for giving us the additional bounty of Sullivan Ballou's final preserved words in this world, filled with humility before the One who created it, & love for his family & fellow humans.
Lianne Schneider replied:
That has got to be the most thoughtful and beautiful comment I've ever received on anything Joseph. I'm touched more deeply than I can say and overwhelmed with gratitude as well. I've always been haunted by the sacrifices made for us from the very beginning and Ken Burns magnificent Civil War series with its exquisite music of the Ashoken Farewell seemed to call for me to create something in tribute. Thank you so very much.
Lianne Schneider
Thank you so much Darren for featuring this image in 3 A DAY WAITING ROOM ART. I so appreciate it.
Lianne Schneider
Thank you all so much for your lovely comments and support...that means so much. I hope that if I haven't already, you'll soon see me visiting your work to say a personal thank you.
Lenore Senior
Another vote for this amazing work.

Emotional image and writing Lianne!

Lianne, I came back again to see this remarkable picture as well as to read the letter in the description. My husband and I recently watched the movie: "Lincoln". I guess you have seen it. I always learn so much when visiting your site on FAA. Your images alone are so well done and powerful (as well as beautiful.) Then the extra bonus of reading the descriptions often touches my heart. Thank you again. F/V.
Anne-Elizabeth Whiteway
Thank you so much for your kind and gracious words about Autumn Hideaway Revisited.
Anne-Elizabeth Whiteway
Lianne, I was looking for an image of yours that I had not previously commented about. I don't know how I missed this one. The image itself is splendid. The composition is perfect. Then, then then! I read the prose along with it which brought tears to my eyes. Lianne, your work on FAA is remarkable & your meaningful prose along with it is also GREAT. F/V
John Kiss
Lianne - This is a superb representation of the civil war era. It is such a touching image along with it's title. I love visiting the sites that formed our history as this and every time I do I feel so small in the areas that had so much suffering... v/f
Lianne Schneider replied:
Oh my Lord - John...my deepest apologies for allowing this amazing, thoughtful and insightful comment to slip through the cracks. It's so very lovely of you and I do appreciate it very much.
ARJUN SEN
Immensely moving artwork. I think of this piece - as I do so many of yours (and my own), as composite of image and words as a single work. The gloss greatly enhances an already very effective picture and sets one pondering. It reminds one how astonishingly powerful the force of political conviction can be, that it can put itself ahead of the most powerful and close family love, and in individuals of evident great character, depth and strength of will. A man like Sullivan Ballou is no ordinary man - and no doubt there were many others like him - who dearly loved their families but risked all for the cause. Probably they knew that there was no alternative, for once a nation is at war with itself, there can be no peace in evasion. The consequences of war, of victory and defeat, will be reaped, and will be visited upon all whether they took part in the war or not. Therefore there is something of the admission of destiny in going to war like this, as well as conviction, perhaps. It is a job that may or may not be relished but cannot be avoided, and a strong man went into it with a stout heart and without failing to recognise what he may lose by doing so, nor failing to acknowledge his responsibilities to those he loved. Very moving. v/f
Lianne Schneider replied:
I am deeply moved by your gracious, generous and extremely insightful comment Arjun. I think that all you speak of here is exactly what I was trying to capture...the Ballou letter has always moved me deeply to think of sacrifice, priority and the meaning of patriotism. At a time when patriotism seems a catch word for knee-jerk reactions and diminishing freedoms, it's important to look at it more objectively. I cannot tell you how very much your intelligent, articulate and thoughtful comment means to me. Thank you seems too little to say in response.

Excellent work...
Lianne Schneider replied:
What a very encouraging thing to say Prashant - thank you so much.
Debra and Dave Vanderlaan
Beautiful image, presentation, and description to accompany it. Great job Lianne! We Voted! Celebrate life, Debra and Dave

Lianne Schneider replied:
Thanks so very much Elaine. So pleased you liked it.
Susan Capuano
Very moving presentation Lianne, the letter and the image go hand in hand to remind us of the human cost in all wars. Your beautiful painting truly deserves to be seen and treasured. v/f
Lianne Schneider replied:
so sorry Susan - forgot to hit reply! Lianne Schneider Reply | Delete The cost - so high always - but thank God there have been those willing to pay such a price. It seemed fitting as we near July 4th that we remember the principles for which so many gave their lives. Thank you so very much Susan.
