Cora

Part of my commitment to my regiment's 150th celebration was to create and donate a painting to each mess. This one below is Cora and, of course, it goes to the Jr Rank's mess. The idea behind this was to create a modern bomber girl in the style of Vargas. I picked model Cora Deitz because she has that timeless look to her.

I'm also adding the video of me creating the piece. As you can imagine it took me a while..

For a Friend

Not a lot to say except I miss Maj Louis Beglaw ever time I step foot in my armouries. A great guy with a big smile and a very capable hand at leadership. We don't replace people like this, we just miss them.
