William Joseph Slim
Old Dory
7″ x 11″ Watercolor
This painting was something else! All the perspective and boards going this way and that…. mind boggling! It is also quite a bit larger than I normally paint. In case you were wondering, this is not one of the valentines paintings.
About William Joseph Slim
The courageous British commander William Joseph Slim, who led forces during both world wars, led an impressive turnaround of the so-called Forgotten Army in Burma during
World War II after he trained them how to fight in jungle conditions. He was born in 1891 in Bristol. He joined the army as a second lieutenant at the outbreak of
World War I and was wounded in the battle of Gallipoli. He served as
governor-general of Australia, a ceremonial role, from 1953 to 1960. He died in 1970.
