I have been interested in a photo from the Battle of the Somme. I have tried to recreate it from a different angle. It’s not exact. The last photo is the original and is quite well known.

I’ve not done many Lord of the Rings paintings recently so here’s one of an Elf attempting to use JC Leyendecker style

And now for something completely different… well not that different but inspired by a beautiful walk on the Sussex Downs with my dog I thought I’d try a landscape. Tempted to put a Spitfire in the sky.

I watched the film Greyhound about an Atlantic convoy last night. Brilliant film.

Watched the #blitz film last night starring #saoirseronan and #paulweller along with a number of other great actors including #elliothefferman
I really liked it and thought the blitz scenes particularly harrowing.

I started reading There’s no home by Alexander Baron. It’s set in Sicily and the opening chapter is British Infantry moving into Catania at the end of the Sicily campaign. I used a well known photo for reference

Continuing my digital paint studies. This one is from the background in a #matania illustration.

Another artist I really admire is J C Leyendecker so following the theme of copying masters I’ve had a go at one of his. I did change one of the figures. I love the geometric shapes his uses.

A friend suggested I made the Churchill tank a crocodile flame thrower - so I thought I’d have a go.
