Some how, somewhere I have managed to find the strength to start getting back into my painting. As I have mentioned before I am battling real demons in terms of mental health and it is no exaggeration that it took a heck of a lot of effort and determination to pick up the brushes again!

This post is both a small celebration and a reminder that it can be done. Are the miniatures painted to the exact same standard as the last unit of Anglo Danes I managed to paint up? Probably not. I am still feeling a little tentative with my brush work to add borders to the tunics and shirts but that will come back with a little time. I have left these unvarnished for now as I'm hoping, as I get back my confidence with the brush I will be able to add patters to the borders with my usual skill.

More pictures from various angles of the mini's can be found on my Just Add Water Blog here:

They look great; already ahead of what I do. Enjoy!

I am glad you are back! Your painting is an inspiration. Keep fighting the demons – in the end, it is worth it.

Excellent jobs! Very nice! Keep fighting the demons! Get batter soon!

Keep up your chin Darrell. Your Danes look great, you are part of a dying breed of painter, from the days when you had to learn to paint flags and shields by hand!

Truly inspirational!
Stay strong

Well done. I always find painting to be very therapeutic.

Good luck with your mental health. I hope it continues to improve. 😀

Keep up the good work. Your painting is always an inspiration in the use of colour! You know that you have the support of many who really appreciate what you do.

Thank you all for your very kind words and encouragement.

All very much appreciated. I think I'm beginning to get back into the swing of things- hope I haven't jinxed myself by saying that!
