Hi Robbie,

Inked it up and put a tint on it, it's meant to look like night but being colour blind I have no idea if it's the right tint!

I must say that is a super piece of art Soren - if you don't mind me saying so it looks very much 'of the time' in that it reminds me of the some of the art done by WW1 servicemen and published in the few regimental histories I own.

    At present side tracked with restaurant but have an interior brick wall built in 1914 in the function room that houses my WW1 stuff. It draws a lot of interest.

Hi Kim,

This is an old one, but probably more appropriate to your location: 'An Aussie left behind Ypres 1917'

Yep, that's exactly what I think too about Soren's work, definite period feel
All good but prefer the latter one (the night burial with washes). Excellent!

Soren, your usual standard!
But I did think the last one had more of a night time feel to it.
