I love this stuff and hope to make it down to the Chico Air Museum in the near future to see some of your work in person.
Thanks Pie, Fridays are the best days to see. I am generally around. I would be happy to give you the big tour!
Question Jack…that wouldn’t be a UFO would it, hiding under the clouds?
If not what is it?
It keeps pulling my eye away from the plane.
Jack, Tina:
“It keeps pulling my eye away from the plane.”
Agreed. I am no critic but that annoyed me too. May be an emphasized artifact perceived from an image of the actual painting. Looking forward to seeing this in person.
When I lived in the San Francisco Bay Area I went to many Impressionist exhibitions. One painting in particular impress me in one 0f those exhibitions. I cannot remember the artist or painting title. I spent half an hour examining it.
It was a simple painting of a horizontal block of stone (or brick) apartments covered in adobe or some other layer. In one apartment door was a brilliant spot of pink. Standing away, it was a brilliant accent adding to the spectacular whole scene. Imagine that if you have not seen such. A painting of a flat, dull, uninteresting wall of door with incredible depth.
Standing close it was an incongruous blob of bright pink paint. Standing away it transformed into a eye and mind bending beauty of composition and depth.

Jack, the plane is awesome. It looks as real as a picture, But, I can’t figure out why the two vertical parts are offset. One is at the tail and the other is off to the left showing behind the pilot’s window. Shouldn’t they be spaced equally on both sides of the tail?
I could be wrong and just not seeing it right. Love it and think it’s the best you’ve shared.
There are three rudders in the tail. One is out of the picture to the viewer’s right.

When I was a young lad of about 9, my mother, grandmother, and I flew from SF to LA on one of these. There was a bit of turbulence over the Tehachapi Range, and as I had the window seat (right side, aft of the wing), I thought it was pretty cool watching the wings flex. My grandmother was on my left, lips pursed, white knuckles, eyes boring a hole in the seat back in front of her. She preferred the train.
