A second work area was required...

Post by beany »

I have been blaming my lack of artistic output on having nowhere permanent to work, but have now decided to call my own bluff and have commandeered part of the living room as a mini-studio. It appears to be working as I have already started work on a long ago promised painting of a Lancaster bomber for a friend who would like to give it to her father who had some connection with Lancaster which I must investigate further.
More aviation based art coming soon...

Thanks Stuart - still a WIP at the moment. There are a few more to add above and below but they will be much smaller (further away!!).

Excellent work Al 👍
You've got the perspective absolutely right to my eye, which a lot of folk painting aircraft (especially large ones) seem not to be able to do. That said, I couldn't even begin to do that so what do I know!
Best wishes
