Julie Dillon.








Snowskadi (I have no idea what her actual name is, all I know is she's Russian and awesome).





There's just something about the way these two play with colors that really appeals to me, I definitely hope to be able to achieve similar effects in my work at some point.

V. Bozhko - Banner of Victory


A. Kitaev - Guarding the Peace

To what you posted.

I found this great site that has many facts and things from world war 2, such as service manuals, art, explanations of different battles and essays.

One of the more interesting parts is the three pages they have on Russian Art during and after World War 2

http://www.allworldwars.com/Soviet%2...Paintings.html

There are three pages and its choke full of great art. I pretty much downloaded them all for my Art Folder.

Has anyone seen this paiting?
I think it's by an artist called Wojciech Kossak but I cannot find this picture on the internet. Can anyone tell me if it is by this man.
