Nello, really great "small vignette" my friend. My compliments once more.

Amazing job love to see it paint just the trees a little bit lower than hunters

Cheers Romque

Up to your usual superb standard,a great piece,Ian

 

[Brancaleone]

Tahnk you all guys..
And a great hug to you Ian , hope to see you soon again ..

@ Romque
About the threes .. You are right , the threes are smaller than they are use to be . But this is due only for pratical needs. A very tall three , is almost impossible to place on a vignette . The height of the work would be impossible to hanlde, and, in my opinion, un-artistic.
Even at this lenght , the total height oh my work is close to 15 inch, including base. If Taller would be impossible to place in a transport case or in a showcase.

Thanks
Nello

Greetings Nello:

Wow, what you have attempted here is very complex, IMHO.
Composition-wise there are so many areas where you could
have failed in your decision making, as to where you put each
piece; as to how many and how tall the trees would be in
relation to the figures, the deer. And to me you passed every
composition problem with flying colours. Obviously, from
looking at the choices you made regarding space relationship
one piece of the composition toward another — along with your
obvious sculpting skills — it is clear you are an artist and have
the eye of a very skilled artist regarding presentation.
I see what you're doing as very difficult to pull off. I applaude
your courage and congratulate you on this lovely, very
creative and artistic presentation. And it isn't even painted
yet!!!

Great overall composition! I really like this piece.

 

[Gra30]

Really like this.
As all comments above, great composition and too look forward to seeing it finished.
Also looks very neat and clean work, done with a lot of thought during sculpting by the looks
Very nice
Best wishes

Hi Nello,
I have always liked this period in history and this magnificent composed piece just fortifies and renews my interest. Every picture tells a story and you are a great story teller.
Wonderful work , like the rest look forward to seeing this one painted.

This is a an excellent vignette, beautifully executed and presented.
Unfortunately you may cop some abuse from some members here who are a little sensitive about hunting.
I hope not, because it's a great piece of modelling. Well done.
