Very impressive.

Very impressive.

Thank you very much.

Thanks for the picture. It's my new desktop wallpaper for my computer! Great job.

 

[Stony]

Nice work as usual.

 

[Pat Young]

Great

 

[bankerpapaw]

Excellent, as always.

I'll bet not a lot of these wind up on walls in Winchester, Va.

Oh I don't know--I'm sure they have dart boards in Winchester

He actually has a street named after him in Winchester but so does Jubal Early and various other Civil War personalities.

Zuzah, very well done! I like the highlights in his eyes and the way the fabric of his tunic shimmers in the light, as opposed the velvet on his sleeves.

Sheridan Ave. is two BLOCKS long and does not include his first name (some other Sheridan?). Jubal Early drive is two MILES long and includes his full name. Perhaps this demonstrates the town's sense of the relative importance of these two characters.

I'll admit, every single time I drive past Sheridan Ave in Winchester, I do chuckle to myself about the fact that there is a street in Winchester (possibly?) named after him.

The devil's in the details.

I'm glad you all like it!

What is that kind of hat called? I assume it isn't army issue.

 

[LittleGuy1864]

I'm pretty sure it's called a "pork pie" hat...

I have always wondered about his hat, too. This is the image I always have in my mind's eye when I think of Sheridan. I guess General Officers have always been given a great deal of latitude about their uniforms and covers.

Sheridan Avenue is in a residential section and Jubal Early Drive is a main thoroughfare through the town. What I found most amusing about it is it's right next to Mosby Avenue. I know they weren't 'great' enemies but Mosby was an irritant to Sheridan.

What's weird is I think Milroy has a 'Court' named after him. That's just wrong.

Milroy?! I haven't been to the part of Winchester where that section is named after him. I may have to meander over there the next time I head out to Winchester, just to get an even bigger chuckle. And yes, I am well aware that Sheridan is my avatar...and that is on purpose.

Very nicely done!
