Knights of Avalon

 

Cheryl Elfvengren
Cheryl Elfvengren knights are a joy, painted with exquisite detail, but they have wonderful artistic freedom that is not there in other highly detailed figures. This gives the figures movement and in a different league to others.

This double of Richard de Vere and Philippe Comte de Nevers  is a great example.
Another double of Nicholas Lord Audley of Helegh and Renaud de Pons.
