This one is looking very nice.

Thanks Bob. I put my enthusiasm down to a long break from round figures and the subjects been right up my street. I've a bit of a yearning to make a start on a flat but there's no time left this leave.

Thanks Brian. There's some big wide open spaces of clothing to paint which I'm not used to so it will be interesting.

good start and intersting subject Roger, you never rest (but we are pleasent of this) ...
Francesco

Thank you Francesco. There is too many good figures waiting to be painted to rest.

 

[billyturnip]

As a Greek , I am always flattered by the interest in the Greek military history......
Well done Roger..........you will be awarded with a ....Greek figure for your next subject!
Fokion

Thank you Fokion. I am glad you are flattered by humble painting efforts. As you have probably realised the Greeks have really caught my imagination.

Thanks very much Chris.
You might have a bit of a wait I'm afraid as it's back to work tomorrow for four weeks and then two weeks holiday. No more painting for at least six weeks. However I should be well in the mood for some painting by then.

 

[billyturnip]

Back from Greece on Tuesday and then work will continue.

Coming back from Greece, I imagine you'll be full of inspiration and onto the brushes in no time.

I'm afraid my wife won't allow that, she has spent the past 25 years trying to civilise me.
