Year of Painting

My Year of painting has been pretty disrupted, a Trip back to Australia in March that ended up being 6 weeks, took pretty much all the wind out of my sails.  I really didn’t get painting again until I started this blog.   I was lacking some motivation, and really this blog provided me with goals that I should keep to.  I find deadlines always help me get stuff finished.

The Blog it’s self is a really good tool for me to get my work out there, I enjoy painting, and so I can show off to a wider community, I hope that I am producing some good work for people to look at.  If there is anything people want me to explain more drop me a message, I know my writing is not the best I am also working on that, It is good to get back in to working on some weakness that I have.

So on too what I have completed, what misses, what hit’s and what I am looking forward to

The numbers in brackets are the O8 product codes.

Land of the Free

Land of the Free wars from 1754 until 1815 in North America, I have looked forward to Land of the Free since I got told about this rule set coming out a while ago.  I have a soft spot for all things colonial.  Back home I would love a decent set of ideas for the Eureka Stockade (1854).  So the  wars between France and England in North America leading into the War of 1812,  even the war against Mexico hold a lot of interest for me, the Rule set of Land of the Free does cover the period from 1754 until 1815 in North America.
