Hever 2025

 Greetings

I was at the Hever In History Re-enactment over the Bank Holiday weekend.

The site had managed to double-book themselves and had built a massive stage/auditorium on the area where we normally camp to put on "Ann Bolyne - the musical".

Consequently, we were camped on the hole-pocked, rutted field next to the jousting arena. Some effort had been pout in by the venue to fill some of the holes, but by no means all of them.

The site of my tent had two depressions inside the tent and I arranged for these to be either side of the doorway to limit the chances of tripping in them.

There were fewer re-enactors and some groups didn't show at all.

Here are some pictures of me that my fellow paladin, Poppy, took ( used with consent)

Here's a shot of the bishop talking to the public

And one of the bishop preparing to help marshal the field on the Sunday- complete with polaxe to keep those fighters in line...

I will post more on this event later.

Until next time

Father's sword

 Greetings

Here is another acrylic painting that I have recently finished.

I call this "His Father's Sword".

This was inspired by all those stories of a young man taking up his father's sword and going on some adventure or quest. In the stories, the sword is always somehow special- whereas it would probable just be - well- old and possibly past its best...

I given this youth a little more to help him. He's found one mail voider, a standard to protect his throat and some leather-edged patches to sew on the jack that nearly fits him, as well as a couple of battered pieces of plate and  a buckler, which he had hung on his belt to protect his groin. His boots are not a pair and his hose have been patched more than once.

Until next time

Here is a new acrylic painting I have completed recently.

I started this one with some computer art and then used that as the source for the painting.

Yield

 Greetings

Here is an acrylic  painting I have recently finished.

I call this "To the yield".  You will not that he had thrown down his right gauntlet in token of surrender.

It's possible I may come back to this one and do some more work...
