There stands Jackson like a stone wall!

More drawings! This time I did a couple of portraits of two Civil War Confederate generals. I am rather fond of both Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson and JEB Stuart, and since my brother is also a huge Civil War buff, and just happened to have magazines with good photographs of them on the covers, I decided to draw from them.

Warning! Fairly large images behind the cut.

No, you didn't miss one. It would have after the foot/shoe post. I'll have to post it. But it won't look like me and I'll look sad in it, which was unintentional.

BTW, did you ever download Sarah Brightman's version of Scarborough Fair. I've just thought of another way you can hear it.

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Oh, okay. But I bet it's better than you're making it out to be!

Nooo......*hides* I'm so scared of breaking any laws! But what's the other way? YouTube?

[anodiel.livejournal.com]

Yep. Youtube. I can link it to you if you like. But I must warn you. Sarah is just a bit freaky in the video.

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Okay, sure!

LOL!! Freaky? Well, that's okay. I'll be listening to her voice really. I've only heard her on the Andrea Bocelli's Romanza when she did a duet with him.

Oh, and I must warn you, I'll be loading it later, like tonight, since it takes like forever to load. Sorry! But I'll certainly come tell you when I've heard it. ;-)

Please do let me know! And let me know what you think. I think you'll find some people who commented on it who like Haley's version better.

Thank you Lori!!

I will, I promise! And as much as I love Hayley, I promise to try and be fair to Sarah, too. ;-P

Okay Lori, I just listened to it! It was very pretty, but I agree and prefer Hayley's version. I think she has a stronger voice, and at least she doesn't think she can fly, lol! ;-P I did like her top though. Who do you prefer?
