The title might sound a little egotistical but its not meant to be that way. Heres an example, a rock band playing for years, hit a wall with their creativity...what do they do? They do a best of album to keep the interest out there until the creativity comes back, which it will. Heres some stuff not necessarily the best, but what I enjoyed doing at the time.

Best of the Captain 2010 -2012
Greetings everyone,
The title might sound a little egotistical but its not meant to be that way. Heres an example, a rock band playing for years, hit a wall with their creativity...what do they do? They do a best of album to keep the interest out there until the creativity comes back, which it will. Heres some stuff not necessarily the best, but what I enjoyed doing at the time.

Nice recap, Richard. I don't see the title as egotistical - in fact, it is great that you can offer what you consider your best work for our viewing pleasure. Warm regards, Dean

Nothing short of magnificent magnificent those around the campfire glow on the face and tents lights.
Also the mortar is handsome, reminds me a bit :)

DeleteEach one of those images is an absolute masterpiece in their own right, I hope that it will not be too long before we see some more.

DeleteSome great pics Capt, I remember quite a few of them!
ReplyDeleteThanks Andrew
ReplyDeleteA wonderful trip down memory lane, Cap. All these works are a masterpiece IMHO. The 1st time I visited your museum, the 1st picture above was your banner pic. I was hooked!
ReplyDeleteI am a retired painter. If you ever decide to sell this vignette, I want to bid for it. Thanks. I consider it a treasure.
Thank you very much Jay...I guess youre talking about the 1st picture...Battle honors.
ReplyDeleteThe artist and the flag easel came from Dixon. A metal flag was included, dont know how you could make a metal flag look real. A paper flag was computer generated and dipped in water to get the faded and limp look. The soldier looking over the shoulder came from Architects of War who produce soldiers with outstanding 19th century facial expressions.
I have many hours in this piece. I'm glad you like it.
Nice work! I realy love your terrain making as it always looks damn realistic.
ReplyDeleteThank you Molterel
DeleteSo many excellent works!! Always a pleasure to see them again, for those that visit your blog on a regular basis like me, or to introduce them to the "newcomer"!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much David
DeleteI can't say which ones I prefer : they are all marvellous!
ReplyDeleteSome are magic like the pictures of the night scenes, and I like also both cars and the plane...I remember almost all: like you say it's like looking a photos album ...
Thank you Sam I appreciate that
DeleteAbsolutely wonderful collection of photos Captain! Awesome work Sir!
ReplyDeleteThank you Rodger
ReplyDeleteFantastic stuff Cpt., my personal favorites are the Confederate campfire, Yuengling beer sign (hoisted a few in my day), and the last of the V-8 interceptors. Great idea to look to yourself for inspiration.
ReplyDeleteThank you Sean...the Yuengling beer sign is one of my favorites also
