Hi Guys

Thanks for posting
Keith ...glad you pointed that out ref the wing nut I was wondering !! ....pleased with machete and others nearly finished water bottle in pouch as well ....that wound is looming !..lol
Stay tuned
Nap

Kev
So you should be pleased, I have always liked work........as you know but these last two busts are, IMHO, your best yet.
Regarding the blood letting; personally I know that there would be floods but for my input less is more.
Staying tuned commenced.
Keith
ps As for the wing nut think nothing of it, I have a trained eye to pick up such things.

all the best
Keith

Hi Keith

Thanks for the comments glad that you like work ! ...lol

Everyone is a leaning curve mate ..especially for me ...would like to paint up the Lassen bust as well as soon as I get it ...got a few ideas!

Ref blood I tend to agree less is more not going for the soaked sleeve look as in the original artwork but more of a Jose Brito version esoecially with the sword itself ....wait and see ! ...

..all I know is it will be a heart in mouth session at the bench !..lol

So glad your trained eye was in action ...I would have missed that ! ,

Cheers and all the best

I am sure that it is all in hand Kev, or in head at least.
It may be an old cliche but I have seen your skills get nicely honed at an equal and opposite pace to mine deteriorating.
Good health
Keith

Hi Kev
No we are back at home. We were loading the car yesterday and thought we may as well push of through the night. It was a beautiful drive over the Pyrenees to Andorra. Additionally it was cooler for the Hazzar. Sitting here it's 34 degrees, Hotter than we had in Spaln.
Rabbit tweeking season is May 3rg to mid August.So you are OK
Be good
Keith

 

[Windy]

Jaysus! How did you do that watch face? I don't think I've got a brush small enough!

 

[Viking Bob]

That watch is a bit fast, you'll have to adjust it
Nap, it all looks fantastic

 

[Nap]

Hi Guys
