Kinkade's not playing the game honestly.

He doesn't even SIGN the so-called "limited edition" prints - he just puts his hand on the stack, so he can claim he "personally touched" them.

Troiani is a pretty good "Civil War Artist", but he has occasional problems with horse anatomy - especially the legs.

Look at Stonewall's horse's hind legs - badly out of drawing. (I'm an authority in that area, because I have groomed more square inches of horse hide than Troiani has painted.)

That said, he is one of the better modern painters in that line.

But Winslow Homer still stands alone as the greatest Civil War artist of all time.

I would rather have a quality reproduction of a Homer painting than all the Troianis in the world.

Dang - I didn't notice that was a flippin' Tripod image.

Try again:


That last is a perfect character study of the types of Southern soldier . . . I had a number one and a number three in my family . . .
