A quick post today.
I need to go make supper (curried chickpeas and pappadums!)
and don't have anything too fresh in the painting department.
I came across these colour restorations of Greek sculpture and again was impressed by the vivacity of the colours.
You can read about the exhibit and process here:I contrast this with the discussion on Fanaticus regarding Skythian pants and other aspects:
My next hoplite force (probably LHG Thessalians) is going to be packed with bling.
