Dettingen Vignette painted!

I finished it just before the Chicago Show. This piece seemed to drag on throughout the summer. Not my usual pace. Now I'm feeling rejuvenated and newly inspired. To bad we can't bottle this motivation, it would be great to Crack it open during the dog days. These pics were taken with my phone. I'll load more in the next couple days.

MMSI Chicago 2015 Last batch.

Last batch of show pics. I didn't get as many as I would've liked, because I was there attending for a short time, and the tables were crowded with people. The turn out was large in pieces and spectators.I hope this trend continues.

MMSI Chicago 2015 Mike Blank's Death of Marshal Turenne

I never tire of seeing Mike's displays. He is a master of composition. He brings so much life to a seemingly simple scene. He constantly setting the bar for us and a reason to emulate.

During my brief appearance, I did manageto snap a few pics. A wonderful turnout with some great art to see.

Attempting to go mobile...

I'LL be experimenting with my phone and posting in real time. I won't be giving up my camera, but should help do away the tedious cord and waiting to load pictures. Some images my be rough at first, but my posting rate should increase. We'LL see...

The Battle of Dettingen: the story of a cunning plan

Cornet Henry Richardson's ordeal at the Battle of Dettingen

I hope everyone is having a good summer...And more productive than I am at the workbench! Here's new pics of the Dettingen vignette. It's a close copy of the painting with a few adjustments. It's a challenge for me trying to compose figures based on illustrations or paintings because perspective can be thrown off and not fit right. As of now the figures are primed and painting underway. Stay tuned.
