Hi

My latest paintings will be on display in Grand in the Vosges region of France, near Nancy, throughout May and June. I will be there for the official opening on May 16TH and again in June 13-14th for the re-enactment event with Pax Augusta.

Hope to see some RATers there.

Thanks Martin. The opening went very well and everyone seemed pleased. I look forward to my next visit in June.

Here is a photo of the amphitheatre in Grand. One of the largest in France, even though it appears it may only ever have been half completed!

I have asked Jasper if he can kindly post some of my pictures from the event here as they are large files.

A few of Grahams pictures of the Herculiani made at the Grand event.

You look very smart guys! Apparently some new clothes have been made - the trousers look very Late Roman too!

Thanks Robert

I have plenty of images, if people want to see them and you are willing to post them.

Hi Graham,

Could you possibly provide an overview of everything you had on display there? I t seems you had some art prints for sale too; are these different from what we can find in Ancient Warfare?

Best regards,

Hi Paul

Well spotted! The print of the Lancaster cavalryman, the man with a 'head', is something new. If you are able to visit next month you might get to see most of the original paintings as they should have arrived back from France by then.

Graham.

P.S Nice avatar of yours, with what looks like the Liver bird in it! Big Grin D
