Thanks, guys! 
Mgawa, this was a commission project (i.e., "sold" from Day 1), as is almost everything I do these days. Matter of fact, I'm backed up about two years at present with commission work. I only have a few pieces that are 'unsold', and those sure look good in my house!

This is excellent to hear Wade and I am glad that things go smooth with your art. Technical question- propeller disc are perfect look.... is this airbrush or dry brush of very thin coat of paint over dry background?

I am generally more of a direct painter, working wet-into-wet most of the time. I use glazes or scumbles as final touches only - usually only to enrichen or darken a passage. The prop 'arcs' were painted directly using my 'sky' color tinted/darkened with a deep blue as I worked through those areas.
The "prop zing" (the white highlight line) on the prop arcs were added opaquely almost last after everything underneath had dried.
What's an airbrush?
Heh heh, by that I mean I prefer the painterly look ...
