I do paintings on commission. I’ll work with you to bring a particular scene to life, using photographs, written resources, and your verbal descriptions.
Do you have an aircraft that you would like to depict in flight? Perhaps you never got a good photo of your first airplane. Or maybe there’s a particular mission you or a family member flew while in the military that you’d like to commemorate. I can do it.
My painting Hit My Smoke was done on commission for a group of Tiger FAC fast forward air controllers. They flew highly dangerous solo missions during the Vietnam War, so there are virtually no known photographs of their planes in flight, and none during an actual attack. I created the painting using photos of F-4 Phantoms and F-105 Thunderchiefs, photos of typical Laos “karst” landscapes, and descriptions provided by the veteran pilot in charge of the project. We worked remotely from each other, using phone calls and email.
I did Seven-Zero-Four-Charlie-Charlie Over the Golden Gate using a photo of the bridge that Charlie-Charlie’s owner took himself, and other photos of the plane.
While I specialize in aircraft, I also paint trains, boats, and cars.
If you have an idea you’d like to discuss, contact me. I’ll be happy to talk about your project with no obligation to you. If you decide to move ahead, we’ll talk terms at the proper time.
Use my contact form to get in touch. It will send me an email and I’ll respond within 24 hours under most circumstances.
