    macleay paintings, then and now

    Here's a thought. This winter, while you're doing nothing, take a look through the MacLeay portraits, or other paintings/photos, and then recreate the look, pose, etc. using your own kit. I'll go first.

    That's a cool idea! I don't know that I have the kit to pull it off, but I'm interested to see what others might come up with...

    I'll be sure to represent Lachlan Macpherson of Strathmashie (MacLeay) proudly! Isn't the portrait shown above painted by Robert Ranald McIan?

    Fun idea!

    Cheers,

    This thread sure turned out to be a rip-snortin' barn-burner of a success, didn't it?

    Well dbh, we CAN say that all of the photo entrants were spot on!! I thought it was a neat idea, and was looking forward to other posts, but it appears that others are as creatively challenged as I am!! Nice idea though.

    I like the old cheesy one!
    At least you men can have some action shots (with swords or sheep) The women just stand there with a basket or a child.
