Nice work Roger Have you a pale blue background, also ?

Thanks Gordy, I also took the photo's with a pale blue background and this was the better of the two.

Excellent, you finished it! Well done, Roger, I think you get better with each piece.

How will you display this vignette, in a shadowbox, say, or some other way?

If I had to suggest anything, it would be to add a pair of the grenadiers from the story, mocking the gunners. "Aye, Fritz, and with interest!"

Again, well done!

Prost!
Brad

 

[billyturnip]

Brad, Thank you. I've attached another pic so you can see how the piece is displayed.

I did actually consider adding a couple of the grenadiers that are in the illustration but decided against it but in hindsight perhaps I should have.. oh well.

Great job! It actually took me awhile to realize it was a flat, excellent painting

 

[billyturnip]

Thank you very much Tom, that's the best compliment a flat painter can receive, glad I fooled you for awhile.

Roger.
