AVIATION AND NAVAL ART
I first became interested in aviation and naval art in high school, and still have some of the pieces I did then in my old portfolio. What is shown here is a collection of pieces done since 1990. Many are in private collections now and are not shown in public any more.
LANDSCAPE ART
Landscape art is a great challenge to create. One of the reasons why so few pieces exist in my collection- both of which are sold to private collectors- is that a) it stresses me out doing it, and b) it is not unusual for me to have to encorporate landscapes into military or aviation subjects. Whatever the reason, I should do more...
FIGURES- PAINTED
Here are some of my figure paintings, done in the 1990s on canvas or illustration board. Strangely enough, they are all of young females. Go figure... The piece with the three girls and the model airplanes was exhibited at the National Aviation Museum in 1996. It was a study of experimentation in flight- young women who might some day become the next Roberta Bondar or Julie Payette.
FIGURES- DRAWN
Not every model who appears in a life drawing class is nude. Here are some images from various classes that illustrate this point. I may convert some of them to nudes later. It will be an interesting exercise.
