Very excited about two original figure studies that Keith did for me. A French Dragoon, and a French Voltigeur. Pictures on my blog: link |

Amazing! Congratulations on becoming the proud owner! Keith is a brilliant artist! |

Paint by numbers is great I admit. Only kidding!!! The brass on that dragoon helmet, that takes real skill. My hospital office manages a West Ham United Montage (just photos) and a painted picture of Jerry Garcia
.the latter is my pride and joy. Not in this league |

I've met him too. He's a very nice guy too. Talented and nice! Love his work! |

Thanks guys. Keith is truly a rare talent. |

Agree w/ Raynman. I got to meet him at H-Con several years back, and attended a very interesting lecture on combat art. I have three framed prints of his hanging behind me on the wall, but having an original done
just for moi??? Jealous, jealous, jealous. |

I have three of his prints in my office as well. Which three do you have? I have The Great Gate of Hougomont, The Melee (French Carabinier vs. Izumsky Hussars at Borodino), and Battle of Aspern. In storage, I also have the following prints from his Waterloo series: * Victory in the Balance * The Final Gamble * The Iron Duke Heh. I have too much to display. Might have over-bought over the years. |

What a great treasure. I've often day-dreamed of having Mr. Rocco doing a portrait of me in a Hussar's uniform! Thanks for sharing! |

@GDrover
my three prints are Foot Dragoons Skirmishing, A Chasseur's Fate and the uniform study Trumpeter; Polish Lancer of the Imperial Guard, Service Dress. A must have for me someday is one of the Eylau charge prints. Maybe a big giclee print. Lot's of wall space to fill. |

Keith does do a great deal of commission work; he's been particularly interested in Egyptian subjects lately. Drop him a line; he is also into Napoleonic wargaming. I hope you've all gotten his latest book/collection which we published, from MHP or Tradition Studios: link |
