Whats on your wall?
« on: August 16, 2020, 11:49:19 AM »
As gamers post photographs of their games in various forums – in the background is normally print of  a famous battle.....so what is the focal point of your games room/living room/study?....

No need to wax lyrical....mine is Fripps ‘Isandlwana’.......

I have that Fripps painting on the landing, along with a bunch of original 'London Illustrated News' Zulu War prints (they're not that expensive to buy to be honest). In the painting studio there are some WW2 British propaganda prints (not original) of the 'Dig for Victory' and 'Keep Mum, She's Not So Dumb' variety. But most of the walls have now been covered by my daughter's drawings over the years.

I display Japanese woodblock prints in the bedroom and sitting room on a rotating basis; numerous battle pix. But I game in a different part of the house.
The laws of probability do not apply to my dice in wargames or to my finesses in bridge.

Like Oshiro, too many shelves.
However I hope (if clear out continues apace)to free up some wall space.
The dream would be to display something linked to that weeks game, be
it flag or picture.

A painting of a naked lady drying herself after a bath.  :)

A painting of the sea.

A painting of my wife when she was young.  ;D

The place is packed with paintings and looks like an art museum. Most of them I would like to throw but they belong to my wife... so there you go.

Are these all the same picture?   ;D

Myself, I have too many shelves to hang pictures, though I do have the heraldic banner from when I was in a medieval reenactment group that I made myself on the wall - I pin all of my miniature/gaming awards to it now.

I wish...

From my painting area I can also see...

- A painting of a woman in traditional Spanish dress glancing at a mirror

- A mounted Spaniard conversing with a few other folks standing on the ground

- A girl picking flowers

- A lady with an umbrella

Like I say, I live in an art museum.  o_o

There is also this one, a painting of cavalrymen fighting. Here is a poor picture of it due to the lighting, but I haven't a clue what it depicts:



Anybody have a clue? Spanish Civil War?

Silent Bob,
I work in a leaky old caravan. There's alway weird stuff on the walls often it's technically alive..
I did a workbench thread back in March ' Concept sketches from my notebooks.' Which had few pictures of my workshop walls.
 Like this one.
The News paper is on the wall going up the stairs (the Mrs bought that . other than the gun cabinet it's only militaria in the house.)

'Keep Mum, She's Not So Dumb'
I always read this the other way without the image.  ;) :D lol
