Description Well here she is, finally finished!
Acrylic on canvas, 30x24 inches...

For the landscape I always had in the back of my mind a quote from the Lord of the Rings...

'End? No, the journey doesn't end here. Death is just another path, one that we all must take. The grey rain-curtain of this world rolls back, and all turns to silver glass, and then you see it.

White shores, and beyond, a far green country under a swift sunrise...'

Stunning work! I really like the details. The coloration of the landscape matches the plane nicely.

May I ask when did you start painting planes? I love aircraft but I don’t have much experience in drawing them. Now I’m not sure where to start, but I want to try it someday.

Your art is very inspiring because of the dynamic scenes and interesting backgrounds. Keep up the great work!

Thank you so much for your kind comments!

I started painting aircraft in 2010, I always has a soft spot for the P-51 Mustang and decided to try and paint one in my spare time. After that I got a few commissions and then never really stopped painting!

I'd start with one you have an interest in, maybe you love the type, or the paint scheme, and see how it goes. I've found that I love painting aircraft with an interesting back story, and I use that to influence the painting (that doesn't sound right now I've typed it...) Or, as with the Spitfire, I'll start, and be influenced by something I've read that's totally unrelated.

Good luck! I'll look forward to seeing your aircraft drawings in the future. I'm sure they'll be awesome!

Ah, I see. That’s interesting. Your paintings are very creative. Thank you very much for the advice!

I’d love to try that, but I definitely need a little more practice.
