Oil Painting of Kriegsmarine

[-Ray-]

There is a very nice thread recently of other branches.

Would like to display a KM portrait and see others please. Thanks for viewing and sharing.

Need to decide what setting is best (sun or living room)?

My wife admires it but believes a bit eccentric having a portrait of an unknown person, so probably off to the war room better yet.

Hi Ray, really nice portrait, I would like one like this ....

[Kondor]

Great portrait! I like your first location better!

Keep it away from direct sun light as it will fade the pigments.

If we dedicate this thread to KM paintings it might be a short one. But here is one that was linked in "Interesting Paintings" thread in the collector community forum. This belongs to a large group of portraits captured by the US government and held in archive apparently.

Thanks to all members for viewing and nice supporting comments.

Andrew; will be keeping this out of the sun light for sure.

Adam; thanks for keeping this thread in balance with the additional oil paintings. They are magnificent. I agree the KM is a bit under rated.

Dave; Will be seeing you at the next show since i'm home now and my world is back to normal. Otherwise please drop me a line if you are up this way at the FT Campbell A/O.

Thanks again all.
