Great result on a very complicated piece Neil, well done. Rick H.

Oooh thank you ,gentlemen!
It was a bit of an epic, but I'm so glad I did the practice runs first.
I can also vouch for Boatman Chris's technique of clapping when your hands get shaky!

Another little update.
I don't really like showing WIP shots of my painting, and also I just don't think to take them, but this was how he looked when I finished last night , so I thought I would report in.
I thought I was done with little squares , but Oh No......

the hose tops were just as bl88dy difficult!


and then there was the bonnet.
Thanks go to whoever recommended using VJ ivory for white- I like it as a more realistic white for the natural fibres of the time. I've kept with normal white for the leather, as it would have been pipeclayed.
There's still some touching up to do, but with luck I might finish the painting today
thanks for looking
Neil
