The last ship to leave Subic Bay 1992


 
12 x 16 oil on canvas art board
 
The US Navy closed the Naval Stations at Subic Bay and Cubi Point, Philippines. Olongapo was the town outside the navy base. There were many loves lost on that final day...there is symbolism with the ships wake touching the two ladies standing... the other crying is totally alone.
