Yes indeed my dear friend. Dramatic art is how you approach and create a scene or a single figure. I never really cared if it is fantasy, historical or a civilian. Great art is great art, regardless!
I love to see a creation that moves me, that create an emotion and a bond with the viewer. Th subject is secondary. Thanks for all your support and inspiration!
Great to see all these excellent vignettes, Mike, Gold of course! I remember when you swept the board at our 'Soldiers' Show in Glasgow all those years ago! The career has progressed in great strides!
And you should know, being a Scot yourself! Yes, these are no the late Victorian romantic version of the Clansman and the their tartan...
The starved, tired and outnumbered army in rags under "Bonnie" was something else. I have always found this battle very interesting to study, the background, the participants and the inevitable outcome...
Thanks my friend!
