MM, PJ did a good job technically with the painting, but he needs to research his subjects.

Point one: the two sidearms that Gen'l Patton carried were ivory handled, not ebony. And don't make them pearl handled either, "only a New Orleans Pimp would carry pearl handled revolvers".

Point two: Eisenhower is depicted as too young. During WWII his baldness and grey/white hair had wiped out his sideburns. any brown left in his hair was further back from the ears. Forget what the painting instructions say, read up on the subject and view any possible differences.

I have Andrea's bust of Humphrey Bogart as Rick Lane from "Casablanca"  on my desk right now. The instructions call for a confederate grey overcoat, a grey shirt , a dark grey fedora with a black band. Instead, I found colored movie posters and photo's of Bogart. In the poster for that movie he is in a tan overcoat (tropical weave, possibly), a white shirt, the fedora is a dark brown with a darker brown band (beaver felt probably). His tie was maroon. One of the colored photos had Bogart in a suit close to the poster. I guess that he wore in the films what he wore on the street.

If after all these years he hasn't, I doubt he's gonna start now.
