[pte1643]

That's a great piece of painting (and indeed modifying).

I can't help looking at this chaps Brodie... It actually looks like it's made from presssed steel. You've even captured the "orange peel" texture perfectly.

Hi Colin

Thanks for forwarding this link on final version.
Amazing how you captured the young look on Young's bust (pardon pun ;-)

Been listening to Voices of the Great War which is sobering stuff making it clear how tough things were for these lads.

Stay safe,

Mike

 

[DEL]

Now that's a bit special on lots of levels Always liked the expression on this bust and your painting has a Mike says captured the face of a young man with a believable look of grim determination.
Tribute pieces are always very personal things so thanks for sharing the story with the rest of us.
Cheers
Derek
