In this video is a continuation of Military Historical Artist Mark Maritato working on a privately commissioned oil painting depicting Colonel Haldimand S. Putnam of the 7th New Hampshire infantry as he lead his brigade mixed Federal regiments into the battle of Fort Wagner, South Carolina on July 18, 1863 during the American Civil War. The video is a time-lapse showing the beginning of using oil paints in an under-painting phase of the development of this artwork. Other videos will follow showing more of how this painting develops into a fully realized historical artwork.

Here is a short video of a painting that was commissioned over a year ago that was especially illustrated for the wonderful award-winning historical fiction novel written by Mike Eisenhut "Brothers of War - The Iron Brigade at Gettysburg" that tells the story of the 19th Indiana Infantry Regiment of the legendary Iron Brigade as they participate in the largest Civil War Battle fought on the American continent. The novel is based on true events and actual historical characters.
Here is a video of me beginning work on a commissioned painting on the battle of Fort Wagner, South Carolina which was fought in July of 1863. The battle was depicted in the movie Glory. The painting I am working on will feature Colonel Haldimand S. Putnam of the 7th New Hampshire Infantry who served as a brigade commander and was tasked with leading the second wave assault on Fort Wagner. Putnam was killed in this assault and his sword fell into the hands of the Confederates. After the war Putnam's sword was returned back to his family. The sword has recently passed into he hands of the client who is commissioning this painting to honor an unsung and forgotten hero of the Civil War who's story deserves to be told. This video is an almost an hour long time-lapse that shows the beginning phase of the development of this new painting. The development of this artwork will be shown in subsequent videos following this one until the artwork is finished.

Here is a short video showcasing 17 paintings I did for a major commission for the US National Park Service visitors center at Valley Forge, Pennsylvania. It was an honor to be asked to paint a series of illustrations for one our country's most important founding historical sites that contributed to forging a new nation!
