Military paintings

A selection of past military work.

Alix can undertake Pen and Wash caricatures with real faces, as in the sample below in the Gallery, or in the style of those by her in the Military Caricatures shop, or a variant.

Other types of military paintings can be discussed.

(A VAST NUMBER OF HER MILITARY PAINTINGS CAN BE FOUND THROUGH GOOGLE IMAGES)

 

 

D-DAY, 6 June 1944

 

The top painting

Two old comrades sit on a park bench on Remembrance Day, wearing their poppies and campaign medals.

 

Behind them stands a young soldier.

 

Is he a lost brother or friend, or is he one of these old soldiers as he was on D-Day?

 

The painting in the background is not a replica of the photo that lies beneath it but shows landing craft approaching the beaches of Normandy and creates a link between the figures, D-Day and the newspaper and suggests the mayhem that lies ahead.

 This caricature of the Commanding Officer of The Royal Highland Fusiliers, 2nd Battalion The Royal Regiment of Scotland was presented to him in July 2014.  A fun but tricky commission as Alix had never met him.
