Hm,

the cows lack depth.  I think you should enhance the shadows.
At the other hand - if the Scotsman should be a Black Watch man (I guess it from the kilt pattern)
the cuffs and collar should be Royal Blus.

Painting trees is not  easy -  for me too   -    at the moment I struggle with a florida tree -

 Have opened a new thread "Seminole Stronghold"  - you can see pics and used
colors there

Step outside the box and do something you wouldn't ordinarily do - perhaps a bevy o'beauties on the Victoria's Secret catwalk...  8)

Jerry I like off the wall stuff :o Do you know any thing about that picture?  I have the elephant gun team. Willie

Title: Re: Guernica rising
Post by: JerryMort on February 26, 2016, 12:50:18 PM

Willie, It is one of a fantastic album of photos I have of the band of the 6th East Surreys in India in the First World War. I think part of their service was in Aden. There are photos of them on the march, on the Northwest Frontier, rafting down a river, in quarters. There are some photos of the regimental sports that includes a running race for the band carrying their instruments - including the bass drummer! Also photos of regimental graves. Some are of the regiment on the move with a long train of bullock carts and some rickety lorries. If there is some interest I could post some of the better ones. I believe the 6th battalion was a territorial force sent to India to free regulars for service on the Western Front.

I did put some of the photos in Journal 85 as I was short of content.
