Done in 2017 when I was obsessed with the Napoleonic War.

Period fandom is simply amazing!
It's easy to generate plots based on credible backstories;
Real history was so dramatic and often quite gay;😜
I can paint in an oil painting-like style, which I enjoy a lot😘

"Those who live on expectations are sure to be disappointed"
