Thanks for the comments.
Not it wasn't commissioned and was more of a "sketch" I did over a couple of evenings. It was done at postcard size so it won't scale up very well but I will admit it does look very nice when printed out on a proper dye-sub photo printer.
I paint/sketch very rarely but I may have to do more soon. The rather high reproduction fees the IWM want for photos means I'll have to draw all the illustrations for a book rather than use original photos. :(

OneEighthBit - simply awesome.
I would like very much to buy that from you if it is for sale.
Please get in touch with me.
Also, HELLO!!! : ) Long time member at ehangar, but new here.
Nice collection of Taylor, Trudgian, Shaw. Related by marriage to William Phillips - I'll post the story of the wedding present someday.

I flattered that so many people liked my glider picture and a little overwhelmed at the same time!
As I mentioned previously, it's not a big drawing as it was really more of a small sketch I did over a couple of evenings. The original is only about 10cm x 15cm so it's not something you could put on the wall and frame and it's doesn't enlarge very well.
A while back I had a couple of postcard size prints run out for friends on a dye-sublimation printer which gave fantastic results and a wonderful glossy print. If theres interest I could get another small run printed out if people would like a copy but as I said, it would only be a postcard sized gloss print.

Thanks for those kind words, glad you enjoyed the show.
For those who wish to go this is the last few days, however I have my own exhibition at Tangmere this weekend as part of the airfields 90th anniversary celebrations.

Hi guys
Been busy painting of late, thought you might be interested in the results.
It's called "The loneliness of the long distance flyer" and is of course the Mew Gull of Alex Henshaw.
Hope you like it, I'm a bit chuffed to say the least

That looks superb, Paul! Sunsets can be tricky ot pull off succesfully and you've produced a stunner there. I love the backdrop but the plane looks equally great! :cool:

I am not surprised, It's the first time I've tried to down load an image. Please bear with me- normal service will resumed after I threaten my computer with a Sledge hammer.:o

OneEighthBit, that's a beauty! Very atmospheric.
Was it a commission and has it ever been released as a print?
Are you planning to paint any more aviation art? You obviously have a talent there :)

:) I have just returned from the Guild of Aviation artists exhibition
http://www.gava.org.uk/
I can only say the art work is absolutely incredible.Paul C i saw your paintings and can only agree with the judges on the award for your Vulcan painting
http://www.gava.org.uk/index.cfm?page=searchresults&searchyear=2008&searchtype=year
and the Focke Wulf one is brilliant,better in real life than in a photo
http://www.gava.org.uk/index.cfm?page=searchresults&searchyear=2008&searchtype=year.
Puff 602 [Kevin] drawing of Josephines Beau http://www.gava.org.uk/index.cfm?page=searchresults&searchyear=2008&searchtype=year also stood out,well done all and thank you.
Last year they had some of the artists actually painting in the exhibition this was one of them,now nicely finished,
http://www.gava.org.uk/index.cfm?page=searchresults&searchyear=2008&searchtype=year
Brilliant ,Thank you all:)
