Nurses

 From Bad Squiddo, here are some nurses (or nursing sisters)!


My original plan was to paint them in blue uniforms, like Juliette Binoche in The English Patient:




But it turns out that nurses in the Med wore khaki drill:

To further complicate things, the Bad Squiddo nurses are in British Red Cross nurse uniforms, which differ a bit from the army nurse uniforms:



But I decided to overlook the differences, so my nurses aren't quite accurate, with mix of red crosses, white aprons and khaki drill.  But I like the way they turned out.
