Soren Posted 6 November , 2005 Share Posted 6 November , 2005 Hi Pal's, As Tim is AWOL, and because I need something to take me mind away from dodgy Dutch 'arthouse' websites I think we should go with Wilfred Owen, either any part of the battle, the 4 VC's, Owen's death, or whatever part of the action you would like! I have pasted the link to Paul Reeds thread, which is full of interesting info and photographs: http://1914-1918.invisionzone.com/forums/i...showtopic=40724 This is the only other web source, which I think is quite detailed: http://www.imperialservices.org.uk/sambre_canal.htm Soren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spike10764 Posted 6 November , 2005 Share Posted 6 November , 2005 Right oh, Soren. Wilfred Owen and the Sambre Canal it shall be( if everybody else agrees). Pencils ready..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J T Gray Posted 14 November , 2005 Share Posted 14 November , 2005 My effort, in my sketchbook, so theres a big line down the middle! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I've avoided War Art for some time because it tends to make me depressed about my inability (though I did use to draw chickens for a living...). I've just dropped by for a top-up of gloom - and I think that is one of the best I've seen. There is something darkly gripping about it. Just thought you'd like to know...

spike10764 Posted 14 November , 2005 Share Posted 14 November , 2005 (edited) Here's mine, it was drawn in pencil, but I tinted it sepia. I just seemed to fit better.

Soren Posted 30 November , 2005 Author Share Posted 30 November , 2005 Yes, that really is good Annette, well done!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6th Shropshires Posted 30 November , 2005 Share Posted 30 November , 2005 Thanks for the comments. I did not notic that this months title is Battle of Sambre Canal, so do not count my work. Annette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Posted 30 November , 2005 Share Posted 30 November , 2005 Thanks for the comments. I did not notic that this months title is Battle of Sambre Canal, so do not count my work. Hello Annette I think that your withdrawal from this months comp will be a big relief to the other entrants. You really do produce some very high quality art.

Soren Posted 1 December , 2005 Author Share Posted 1 December , 2005 Hello Annette I think that your withdrawal from this months comp will be a big relief to the other entrants. You really do produce some very high quality art. Andy We chose the Sambre canal as it happened to be on or around the day that Owen died (When the Nov MGWAT started), so a portrait is perfectly valid, I would have thought.

spike10764 Posted 1 December , 2005 Share Posted 1 December , 2005 Thanks for the comments. I did not notic that this months title is Battle of Sambre Canal, so do not count my work. Annette No, I think this should be included Annette. The topic was also WO and I think I speak for us all in saying it's too good to leave out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spike10764 Posted 2 December , 2005 Share Posted 2 December , 2005 I think we should postpone the vote until all the pictures can be seen( still a lot of big white squares with a red X in them for Soren). Reckon you should set the poll up Soren, when your pictures return, and Annette's should be included. Last call for any new ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marina Posted 2 December , 2005 Share Posted 2 December , 2005 I agree - we must see all the pictures again. And Annette's IS associated with Sambre so should be included. Marina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
