Thank you Sheil...These were such friendly comments! Thank you Sheila, Linda, Sherry, Liz and Manon! <br /><br />I must come clean about the rope: it was done very fast after the whole painting was finished. If there was a magazine that was interested, I would be willing to write "the bluffer's guide to painting rope."It asked for no preliminary drawing, and three pools of different colours.<br /><br />The Battle of Blouberg is a very interesting story! Blouberg is such a low unobtrusive hill, how could it play such a heavy role in history?Marie Theronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04873852756825147600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7094257402135517273.post-68452218839818261552010-03-16T13:56:55.110+02:002010-03-16T13:56:55.110+02:00I am going to say the same thing as the rest about...I am going to say the same thing as the rest about that robe.
