Boudica, Battle of Watling Street
"Boudica" Queen of the Iceni Tribe During the Battle of Watling Street I love the sculpt of Pedro for his company Origen Art. I love the promotianal paintjob Pepa Saveedra did on her. ... but for my taste I wanted to catch a moment. This moment. The moment see saw the battle against the outnumbered forces of Rome go to hell. Her army remains running or being slaughtered. All hope gone from her eyes, a dream dying and many bodies on the ground. I wanted to see her inside a battle, beaten up, tired, but still with a will to fight like a tigres, but with sadness in her eyes. A strong contrast to Pepa's version. I wanted to paint her as a powerful redheaded queen, with freeckles and blue warpaint. Even the plinth is unique on this piece. I want to thank Michael aka Dellolyn for this great gift. The plinth was made out of wood from an ancient Roman bridge in Trier, Germany. Keep on happy painting! Best Wishes Roman
