Darrell and Gray Ghost, I know I am repeating myself, but it is absolutely true when I say that your notes of praise for my gallery and your enjoyment of what I have done means a great deal. The viewers of LAF see the best, and it is wonderful to know that those viewers enjoy my work. Thank you most sincerely. Richard

Darrell, Mac Finn and joekano, thanks so much for taking the time to write and for the sincerely appreciated kind words about the gallery. Darrell, as long as my old eyes can focus and my hands don't shake, I'll keep painting and posting. Right now I'm working on the French and Indian War in 15mm/18mm. I hope to have that collection done and posted in October 2015. Once that is done, I'll move back into the 28s with my gangster collection. Stay tuned and thanks always. Richard

Absolutely brilliant stuff. The safari scenes were just great, although everytime I saw the hunter stop in front of a group of animals I feared for the worst! It's always dangerous being drawn to your galleries as they steal time at an alarming rate!

you know, i'm having that very problem.... I've gone from x1 reading glasses to x3 (I really need x4!!) in as many years!! It's quite alarming!

Luckily my middle to long range is 20/20!! Maybe I just need a longer brush!!

Seriously though, collections like this are inspiring so do keep it up and post those little fella's up when you're good and ready please.

Darrell.

The painting, photography, terrain, and thoughtful vignettes are inspiring.

Loved the fellow sitting and painting a watercolor while in camp. And the flamingos are an inspired touch.

syrinx0 and Metternich, thanks to both of you for writing and the kind words... they are much appreciated. syrinx0, I must give all the credit for the photography to my daughter. She does almost all the picture taking on my galleries (my wife takes a snap or two once in awhile as well). When we began photographing my collections for these galleries about seven years ago, I decided to leave the photo shots to her artist's eye. All I contribute to that is to point out a figure or two or a particular vignette that I really want included. Once we have had that brief talk about key elements, I step aside and leave the photography to her... I have never been sorry. Metternich, I agree that the flamingos are an inspired touch and one that was inspired by LAF's Hammers. I took that idea from work he was doing on his Chicken Race On The Arumbaya. The guy has a wonderful mind. I also drew on his work for the cages and the escaping snakes. Thanks again for writing. Richard

Simply marvellous, I loved all of it.

Top class brushwork and groundwork

Your kind words are warming this old guy's heart! Thanks so very much for writing... I really appreciate it. By the way, we have increased the size of the pictures in the African Gallery on my website. They are not huge, but bigger than before. I hope we will be able to go back and do that to all of the galleries... may take a little time. Richard
