Felix Mortimer, Autumn 1914

Description

Bringing back my old Autumn set!
This time last year I didn't draw any of these, so it's two years since anyone got added to this selection, and of course I didn't think of looking at the older ones to double check anything and have managed to draw Felix here with the same kind of tree as I already used for Iris, oops. Although they do still look different enough by oure chance, hers is more upright like the London Plane hybrid, and this has the mad crooked branches of the earlier Spanish kind. It's based on one I know, which you can see here (not a great photo, but wintery ones show the strange shapes better than leafy summer ones when all the loops and angles are hidden among the green)

Felix is a scruffy devil in his casual clothes, I once said 'it's a wonder he's even got all his buttons done up on the right holes', and this time I've amused myself by making him get it wrong :D

The rest of the Autumn '14 set :

Amyas William Grey, Autumn 1914
Peter Thomas Avery Hamilton, Autumn 1914
Laurence Elliot Jeffries, Autumn 1914
Ambrose Jasper Lambert, Autumn 1914
Miss Cecily Evangeline Lambert, Autumn 1914
Miss Iris Ida Aston, Autumn 1914
Aubrey Augustine Charlton-Fletchett, Autumn 1914
Wilfred John Hilliard, Autumn 1914


(I realised as I uploaded this that I never did choose Felix a middle name, would anyone like to suggest one for him?)

Felix is such a big contrast to Wil, all suave and dashing and generally the opposite of rugged. Of course, then he has to go and do his waistcoat buttons up the wrong way, the ruffian XD Still I love that his waistcoat matches his eyes. And it could only be this tree that he leaned on; he could never make that pose on a tree that wasn't as twisted as he is :p
