, Dear Mr ARTIST ,
So sorry for the delay in reply , i have been away recently and have just returned , each time i go to Kew it changes . With regard your painting i admire anyone who can put such dramatic images on canvas , i can sketch a bit but it is a different matter when it comes to capturing a image on canvas . Of course an artist uses artistic licence , he or she must to capture the moment . Look at the famous painting of Rorke's drift where a number of incidents are all captured in time at the same point , when the painting was done originally there was not the expertese of knowledge there is in 2008 . I will never claim to be an expert in this field , i leave that to others. Comments have been raised on the painting as to aspects of the uniforms etc , it is refreshing that the painter is using this forum to ensure the finished product is as close to 100 % as we anoraks seem to like . Do you know at this time when you will undertake the " final - cut " so to speak ? . I for one think you have captured the spirit of the moment very well and look forward to seeing the finished article , thank you for your reply to my queries , " Sapper "
