Original Book Cover Artwork by George A. Bush, "The Fall of Camp A-555” Vietnam

Description: Up for “Buy it Now” or “Best Offer” is an original paperback book cover oil painting painted by my brother George Arthur Bush. (Not to be confused with any political members. We are not related) This original oil painting was created in 1986 for the novel series “Vietnam Ground Zero” by Eric Helm. This was book #4 in the series entitled “ The Fall of Camp A-555” Publishes January 1st 1987 by Gold Eagle a Harlequin company. The painting is featured on the front and back covers of the book as you can see in the photos. It was created on Masonite board first coated with acrylic Gesso. It is painted in oil and sprayed lightly with acrylic clear varnish. There is a small chip on the lower left corner and some slight edge wear. Please see the photos and ask questions should you have any.wifesedsell is another eBay account my brother and I had. So that is on the "photo spoiler" paper that I placed on the panting when I originally took these photos. That eBay account is still active so you can message me through that account to verify this info should you be concerned or think that I copied someone else's listing. The full outside dimensions are 16 ¾ inches tall by 14 7/8 inches wide. I do not have one of the books to go along with this sale, but I had no problem finding some on the internet. About the artist; George's professional career spans from the mid 70's up to the last project he completed around 2003 and that was a sculpture of the late, great Frank Frazetta. Commissioned by Mrs. Ellie Frazetta, George spent 3 painstaking years creating this sculpture. It was to be cast to make copies that were to be sold at the Frazetta museum. As fate would have it, the person who inspired Geroge's art career ended up being George's last work of art. The sculpture deal ended up falling through due to someone in the Frazetta family simply changing their mind. Three years of struggling to see what he was working on turned out to be a big waste of time and extreme effort. The term “starving artiest” truly apply's here. And the sculpture he worked so hard on is simply a stunning piece of work. A cruel twist of fate struck my brother George starting in the mid 90's when he started to have problems with his eyesight. He pushed on with his artwork for several more years before it was found out that he suffered from Multiple Sclerosis (MS). I would visit him, watching him create his works of art with several pairs of glasses taped together with masking tape so he was able to see. Slowly the MS took from him the ability to do what he loved. So now the time has come for him to part with some of his paintings to help him with living expenses. His MS has hampered Georges ability to use eBay so all inquiries and questions will be answered by me (Bill Bush) through this ad.
