To Everything, Turn Turn Turn

This is an oil painting I made last year called Hobbyshop

When I was about 9 I would go to a hobbyshop to get lessons in painting warhammer, this painting is loosely based on that period of time

The guy who taught me was an older English man with a moustache, which I thought was an interesting sort of guy to be so in to warhammer

I remember the other guy who ran the shop always pottering about, fiddling with things. I like trying to paint fingers doing delicate little actions like this, although I haven't really figured out how to do it -

here's a much better example by Sorolla. Very nice hands.

The kid in this painting ended up glowering which I didn't really intend, but I like it because I think kids sometimes look a bit moody without meaning to. I was and am like that anyway.

Sir Tristan has many decisions to make. Governal asks what are his orders.

They are wronged because they have no power. They are not wronged because they don’t know writing.

Those rare excerpts where Arthur is shown to have giant proportions.

The way it's described here, though, leads me to imagine Arthur is probably in the 7+ ft. range, given that the average height of medieval men was around 5'6.
