New oil painting (Spitfire!)
Fri Jul 15, 2005 11:04 am
Hey guys,
Nooo, not done with "Mustangs at Dawn" yet ... I'm letting the background dry this week so I can work on the Mustangs without danger of smearing work already done with a stray finger (did that on my AT-38C exhaust nozzles for "Black Knights at Nellis" ... not fun to repair the 'damage').
Since I had an already prepared small canvas panel ready for another small work I never got to, I decided to crank out, so to speak, the attached "Summers at Duxford".
These smaller works not only add to the portfolio, which is important for any artist, but they are excellent "exercises" to keep the brush skills honed. Look for many more in the future.
This one shows a Spitfire LF Mk.IXc rounding out over the grass at DX. Like most of my 'miniatures', this one is based on a photo - in this case one I took at Duxford in 2002.
Oil on Linen mounted on panel. 8" x 11-3/8".
Enjoy!
Wade

Hi Wade--
Nice work as always...I recognize the Spitfire, she lives fairly near me now here in southern Ontario. Ed Russell's bird, MK912/C-FFLC.
I've got to get going on more paintings...it's a very use-it-or-lose-it skill!
Cheers and thanx for sharing the Spit piece.

That's good, darn Good! Saw the Spitfire at Duxford the year Ed Russel bought it, glad that it's in Canada. Hope to see it again some day!
