The detail in your paintings are quite brilliant. I've done a few watercolour paintings of soldiers on tour in Iraq, pictures from 2005, I wish I had your mastery of the subject smashing work.

After a good look around your paintings and drawings. I will have to change 'quite brilliant' to meticulous. The text to explain your work methods is painstakingly detailed. You are so right, presenting an image to a person who can spot the wear and tare of a given vehicle and the smallest detail of a uniform, if its not correct or missing they will spot it. Well worth the look, David

I appreciate your comments and strive to be deserving of our great armed forces. I have been unfailingly spoilt whenever I am hosted by these guys and have enjoyed many an informal night in the bar chatting with them. I do try hard to be accurate (not always successfully) these lads are worth it.

Oh to be a fly on the wall on nights like that :) Yes, they certainly are worth it.

Your paintings are just fantastic, the attention to detail is brilliant.
