Description This is a remake of my earlier painting featuring the same airplane. I thought the cloudy background on the first one to be a little too busy.

Would you consider the SBD Dauntless, P-38 Lightning, Bell Air Cobra, or AVRO Arrow?

My my... Remember when I built a paper model of this from a kit I bought at wright pat, home of the remaining Xb-70 proto. Amazing work!

Stunning. How long does one painting usually take you to complete?

Thanks. Every painting is different depending on complexity and subject matter. It takes on average, about 50 hours to complete one painting.

Spectacular painting of a great aircraft. If it met service it would have been right up there with the B-52 as my favorite bomber aircraft.

SPECTACULAR! The clean gradient of the background helps emphasis her strong, clean lines. Beautiful!

I love your paintings of this beautiful, forgotten aircraft. Perhaps it lives on as Aurora...

Thank you very much. Aah yes, mysterious Aurora. We've been hearing rumours for 30 years now. I think there is something to it.

The higher standard in aeronautical technology; one of my favorites!
Can you try to imagine the F-108 Rapier in flight?

markkarvon In reply to CUTANGUS [2009-05-28 01:05:09 +0000 UTC]

The Valkyrie is one of my favorites. An F-108 would make a great scene.
