Dan Morgan, Tim Murphy and Simon Fraser (1 Viewer)

[NEVINSRIP]

This piece portrays Colonel Dan Morgan ordering Riflemen Tim Murphy into a tree in order to shoot General Simon Fraser, who is leading a British counterattack. Murphy was considered the best shot in the Riflemen Brigade and Morgan realized that the battle was slipping away when this brave British Officer took the field. Legend has it that it took 3 shots for Murphy to hit Fraser.
Anyway this was a fun piece to make. There are 2 companion piece showing the rest of the Rifle Corps at Saratoga under construction.
I'll show then when they are finished.

This is brilliant, love all the different flowers and grasses and the trees would have to be amongst the best I have ever seen.

Really great take on Tim Murphy! I never thought of going prone along a branch, but if I had to shoot from a tree, I just might try it.
