Like this a lot!  Great painting and first class presentation.


mark  8)


P.S. Is it just me or is does wearing tight clothing, lots of buttons, pelisse, a saber-tache, sword, belts and a big unbalanced hat and then working artillery a generally crazy idea?  (Not to mention riding a horse as well.)  ???   Apparently our ancestors were indeed made of sterner stuff and quite a bit more limber - pun intended - as well!  (No one wants to see a chubby American in a tight uniform, falling over his equipment and chasing a horse...)

Agreed! Well done.


Chubby Americans in tight clothes are usually wearing gold chains, have hairy backs, and are chasing women half their age.  :o

These are nice :)

I have a short blouson jacket that I like to wear as a pelisse, I find it verycomfortable and I think it looks cool, but for some reason my dear family walk 100yds behind me and don't seem to know who I am!!!  :o
