Richard F - Stanley Spencer used to paint with a brush in one hand and a baBy in the other. I could give it a go....
Richard P - Still not used to the idea, but delighted of course.
Ye head:
This face has the typical Moz Corry features of pronounced cheek bones and deeply engraves jowls. - as I said above, I think he looks a bit old for the average midshipman, so I've tried to give him youthful colouring and have dispensed with my usual five o'clock shadow. He'll do.Comment

Congratulations.
Glad to read they are both well, esp after having an emergency caesarean.
Your lives will be changed, I can recommend it, with 5 it can be all go but so much pleasure.
Will take my normal seat and raises a glass to them.

The whites:
I've now done the white of the waistcoat and breeches. The cravat and belts are just blocked in at the moment, though they will be highlighted black eventuallyComment

Congratulations on being a granddad Peter, great to hear all is well with mother and baby.

Richard - Hi, and very glad to hear that you're sculpting again. A polar explorer - I'll get the Krycell out.
Can't do too much more to make our man look younger - perhaps he's been held back from promotion for some reason. This is his chance to prove himself.
Richard - Thank you. I've still got two children at home, so babysitting is part of the daily round.Comment

Morning Peter
Being on holiday has certainly knocked out my routines!
Super work on the Midshipman, some people just have older faces than their age.
We will all have seen middle aged looking children and baby faced adults.
Is your grand child a boy or girl, or have I completely missed it?
I'll blame my age if I have!
Could be time to retire!
Enjoy the pre nappy changing time, are you due to go and visit soon?
Have a good day with the paint or visiting
Regards

Many thanks for the positive comments chaps.
Steve - Glad you're enjoying your time off - must have been a busy weekend.
I think it's true that people would have looked older in the days when life expectancy, among the poor at least, averaged 40 years. That and the ravages of life in Nelson's navy....
My wife and younger daughter are down in Lewes looking after the mother and baby, and my son and I (and the dog) are going down on Saturday. Here's a picture of my beautiful Granddaughter, Remi:
Can't wait to get my hands on her....Comment

The main part of the figure is now done:
I've tried to depict the blue-black colour of naval uniforms of the time by holding back on using a pure blue. The jacket was done with mixes of Flat Black and Deep Blue with Off White added for the highlights.Comment

Peter.
Well what can you say to complement that work ...... coruscating brilliance !
I rest my case.
Waiting for Steve to read of your news, :smiling5::smiling5: stand by .
