I had never heard him, but was impressed with the sketch. I looked him up and WOW! Quite a talented fellow! Many time periods are reflected in his work, and I would encourage everyone to check out his website/store if you haven't already.

Ah, got it! I was gonna say...you need to start selling your work.no its a print of one of his sketches, but was cheaper then prints of his paintings, I was with a cw group that toured his studio while seeing Carthage, Newtonia and Wilsons Creek, Pea Ridge and Prairie Grove bg's, he was really interesting guy, was not long after he did the commissions for Pea Ridge
Actually, I like the detail too. Zooming was a good choice.Guess I could have showed the whole framed print, but I zoomed in because I love the detail of the sketch
there is the whole thing, scroll bk a bitActually, I like the detail too. Zooming was a good choice.
IIRC, Pea Ridge and Wilson's Creek Battlefields were using his artwork as the covers for their brochures. His work appears very well researched.Thank you, I should have done that, feel remiss, several western battlefield visitor centers commissioned work from him for the centers, why theres multiple scenes from several of the same battle
Looks great! Also...nice wall paper.there is the whole thing, scroll bk a bit
