Another one-nighter, painted in one sitting before bed. The sketch for this was completed in time for the project hand-in, and painted up afterwards for the New Designers show in London. I was pretty tired by the time I painted this, which is why it's s hack job. :P

Anyhoo, this is an English Redcoat rescuing Lady Hartenford from her French captors. I wanted her to look bedraggled and traumatised, as if her captors had treated her as as common prisoner instead of a royal ransom prisoner.

The placement of the porthole is entirely deliberate, as I originally wanted an almost celestial mood to the piece. Maybe I'll redux it one day....



Acrylic on paper, 28 x 20cm

You know, I don't usually like paintings that're brown and brown alone, but I quite like this one. You've got a good lighting thingy going on there, and it's very well-executed (even if I can't quite figure out what's going on with porthole dude's chest ;p).

Thanks, it's cool that you like this even though it's so quickly and roughly painted. :p The figure in front of the porthole is a princes being rescued, and her chest is just a mess of paint, don't look at it. :paranoid:
