One quick look at the rest of my paintings will tell you that this one is a departure for me. I’ve ventured into unfamiliar, if not unfriendly, territory. I don’t have much experience with blues and I’ve never done an airplane before, although as a child I used to draw them a lot; I think that helped. This was exceptionally difficult as I attempted to picture the P51 with a polished metal exterior (no paint). I think it came out pretty well. Life gets dull without challenges and achievements. This was a real challenge. I would appreciate your comments PLEASE
