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

Adieu
