Hi guys,

regards,
Dan

What paintings do you typical do I think it would be cool to see some regular infantry as they are often underrepresented. Very nice painting you have good skills. -Ben

???????????, hmmm, not a word about the artistry, just nit picking, and not very constructive albeit a two year old thread

Well i was digging around the forum and came across it, so thought i would coment!! sure if they werent meant to commented on after 2 year they would get deleted?! Not nic picking at all, useful information if you want to improve for next time!? i am guessing you do??? why else would you post and ask for people comments? Yes not bad art work, yes i can comment on that as i do have a fine art degree.

I believe its called artistic license, and therefore a representation in the spirit of the historical event, either way it was a novel and interesting piece and a talking point at the time and I daresay sold well at auction

artistic license is something you say when the facts, or all the info isnt there.. i am just trying to help make your product better! Would be better with 48 stars on the flag to make it wartime and helmets markings in the two troopers helmets... OK ill stop nic picking now
