ColinRF Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 This one is a wee bit smaller than the event Napoleonics I have done. I think I may do a small group of war poets as my own little nod to the centenary - Sassoon, Owen, McCrae and perhaps a few others.

ColinRF Posted August 5, 2014 Author Share Posted August 5, 2014 (edited) Thanks Peter. Today I did a quick portrait of Sassoon's friend Lt. Wilfred Owen MC. Owen is recognized as the greatest of the war poets. Sadly he was killed in the last week of the war. This is the same size as Sassoon. They will look good together. Still finalizing his face so minor tweaks yet to come. Colin Edited August 5, 2014 by ColinRF 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColinRF Posted August 16, 2014 Author Share Posted August 16, 2014 Sassoon done. You can see the famous "flash" of the Royal Welch Fusiliers behind his collar. Painted in artist's oils. Colin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spasm Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 I really like these two. I prefer these to your others as they aren't flash or overly shiny with gold bits. They sit really well together. I think its because I like the troopies look. Well done and all those expletives above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
