My latest work.... thoughts ???
Thanks so much for the comments bobThere is a host of details that give life to this painting. I like to focus on those elements that I find challenging but you demonstrate a deep competence. The hands, the musket, the flow of the uniform, all executed brilliantly. Thanks for sharing.
For a print $40 plus postage for the original $150 plus postage.steveI used to paint (or try to) lead figures. As stated above, you did a great job with the flow of the cloth and the shading. It is really difficult to paint plaid much less shade it.
So what is the asking price??

From my research i understand that they initially prefered the red trim usually given to artillary brigades.Agreed.
I love the expression on the man's face.
Moreover, the uniform colors are correct. The original Mississippi Uniform Regulations prescribed the color red as trim for the Infantry.

Well for a guy from england its nice to know my research was correct.You are correct.
The state regulations for Army of Mississippi in early 1861 stated...
crimson for infantry and riflemen
yellow for cavalry
orange for artillery
On March 14, 1861 these regs were changed to...
green for infantry and light infantry
red for artillery
yellow or orange for cavalry
In May of 1861 the regs were changed again...
blue for infantry and riflemen
orange for cavalry
red for artillery

Many early units tried to comply with Mississippi's official uniform regulations which specified red trim for infantry.
However. . . since the powers that be changed the official trim colors twice within the first five months of 1861, I'm
sure many tailors just finished these early uniforms in the original red trim rather than trying to comply with the frustrating changes.
Your research was perfect.Well for a guy from england its nice to know my research was correct.
