You read about the Crusades, and it's literally just this:
"Christian victory #48: our 3 Frankish mercenaries stole a camel from an Arab shepherd in Beirut"
"Mamluk victory #3: the collapse of Acre, dozens of nobles killed, including the Templar grand master"
Another early effort in oils, this one also from 2012. I must say l had fun at the time painting this one but l shudder when l look at it now. 😩
Still, they do say that every artist has at least 50 bad paintings in them, you just have to get the bad ones out of your system. 😂
