After a morning painting and working on some scenics, I have spent an enjoyable hour browsing John Rays book “A Military Gentleman”. I am sure John will not mind me to showing a photograph of this fine work. No matter how often I look at the images, I always find something new, or the inspiration for a new figure. I have owned the book for some years now, but today is the first time I have every really considered the vast number of individual figures and sculpts that make up the book.
It really is an incredible piece of work and dedication and an absolute must for any enthusiast if you can pick one up.

I couldn't agree more, Graham. My copy has paint marks as it is dangerously near my painting table. What a numpty.

DeleteA fabulous book, the content always inspires.
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed, John might produce a follow up. He has hinted as much on his blog.
