9/11 Scenes by Tom Miller
Tom Miller, a former Merrirmac artist has spent the past decade capturing scenes of 9/11.
As an artist, Miller has spent much of his life capturing what he experienced as a Marine in Vietnam in paintings and drawings. His work is often part of a series, like one he completed on the American flag.
But after the terrorist attacks on 9/11, his art switched to capturing the images, the heroes and the missing. He started by heading to his garage to look at an old octagon table he had gotten from his neighbor Mike. He stretched a piece of canvas across it and started painting.
"Since then there's been 80 to 100 pieces," he said. "I've lost count."
Thirty pieces of his 9/11 art can now be seen at the Trail's Lounge in Portage for the next two months. Miller, who was born in Wisconsin and lived in Merrimac for many years before moving east, still has family here.
The show can be seen from 4:00- 10:00 P.M. daily (closed Sun. & Mon.) at Trail's Lounge Supper Club.
