Hello There. During the visit to Tiger Day at Bovington Tank Museum I found a number of stalls set up in the Normandy Room.
Among them was a Military artist, J Hugh L Beattie. His stall caught my eye because while there were the original oil painting for sale there were also a range of military prints available as well. He also paints civilian and portrait commissions.
Some of the painting of battle scenes from the Wars of the Roses reminded me of work by the late Rick Scollins.
He has extensive experience of painting military subjects and was very approachable and easy to talk too.
I purchased the print 'Crusader Advance' because I am studying the Battle of Gazala. I liked the the background in this print and would like to try to recreate this for a back drop on my wargaming table.
He also supplies a number of commercial items including coasters, tea towels, mugs and shields.
His website is extensive and is here.
I would certainly recommend his work and have already saved his website for Christmas presents!
