Show your Roman artwork

[Decebalus]

Hi all

Firstly, I wanted to say that this is a fantastic site! I've loved Ancient Rome, especially the Roman Army, since I was nine years old. Aside from being an emergency/fill-in teacher I am also an artist. Only in the last two years have I turned my focus in my paintings and drawings onto Ancient Rome. Desert landscapes have always featured in my painting and now I aim to highlight the grandiosity and ornamental quality of Roman art, architecture but, especially, Roman weapons and armour and place such elements within the epic desert landscapes.
The paintings shown here are all oil on canvas.
The first is titled "Glory?", 2012, 40x122cm.
The second is titled "His Divine Madness", 2013, 60x125cm.
The third is titled "Isolated Grandeur", 2013, 80 x 135cm.

I have to say that in respect to the use of colour I have been influenced lately by the art of Graham Sumner and the writings by Raffaele DÁmato. I definitely aim to portray Roman armour in an eclectic and colourful way!
I hope everyone likes these! I'll be sure to post some more work soon.
Cheers

All painted? Wow!
Salvador Dali came into my mind.
