A Patrol on the evening of the 4th August 1870 (2)

It has been a long while, but finally have something to post. I have got around to pushing some more paint around on this project - two years after I started.. I'm quite happy with how it is going. I have another acrylic to finish, and another in the pipeline. I started these mainly to get to grips with the medium, and might push on back to oils eventually.

A painting in progress. A patrol of Prussian hussars hails some German infantry taking a breath in a back street in Wissembourg after the battle of the same name that day. That's a French Chasseur lurking in a back garden on the right..
