conny...that is excellent...30mm..well that is one small flat...The metal is really nice with lots of contrast, and that attractive miniature style painting on the caparison and banner....The lovely orange/ochre based colour that you used on the banner with the contrasting gold coloured patterns, for me, sets the whole piece off....beautiful work...

Roy.

....beautiful work...

You can say that again. I guess one of the reasons I like flats so much is because they are about as close to art as a miniaturist can get. Yes this is my opinion and yes you are free to yours. Without a doubt there are those miniaturist among us who are the exception to the ruls. It's just that, TO ME, a flat painter more closely resembles a classically trained artist than any other. Conny, your flats are art. I thoroughly enjoy your flats and look forward to more! Youv'e inspired me to attempt my first. Not that my results will be anywhere near yours. But I'm going to try :lol: .

Thanks,
Jim Patrick

Good point Jim. I agree with your opinion regarding flats.
There is a definite degree of accomplishment that a good flat painter has over a figure painter. The 3 dimensional quality of a figure does alot of your shading and highlighting work for you as opposed to a flat painter who must create the illusion of 3 dimensions from 2. If done with the right touch it is masterful as the above attests.
