2020 Advent Calendar: Day 1

 Hello, dear fellow readers!

After a lot of activity during Orctober, it seems that I needed a break before posting anything new on this blog. A break during the whole of November... but I wasn't inactive. After focusing on a single project, I decided to paint any figure I wanted, just for the pleasure of melting colors, as many colors as possible. And here we are, I now have enough figures, single or groups, to show you something different every day... and the timing is perfect, since we are in December, so this year, you will find an Advent Calendar in these pages.

Remember that an advent calendar is a way to help children to wait for Christmas... I hope it will work :)

Let's start with the figures for Day 1:

These guys are Swiss halberdiers from the 15th century - exactly the sort of men that fought against the army of the Duke of Burgundy. So let's say that, in this winter atmosphere, they are looking for food in the woods around the city of Nancy, in 1477.

A closer look:

It looks like they eventually caught birds for dinner today.

Hope you like them (the guys, and also the birds) :)

See you tomorrow for the next image.
