Paintings

This is my very favorite painting. It is an oil on canvas of a B17 at dawn, on a wet runway, the windshield fogged up; you can almost feel the atmosphere.

The idea for this painting came from one of my friends in the Navy. He was frustrated with the whole world, except for his wife.

The era when these two planes met, was at the rise of the jet age. That is why the jet is going upwards and the prop plane is going down. Although the allied aircraft is in the bright clouds and the German is in dark clouds.

The scale is portraying how rich people can get out of jail and how the poor may never get a chance. The whole picture is crooked for that reason.

The plane in this painting is a P-38 Lighting. It's flying in a lightning storm.

This painting of a lighthouse was commissioned by a person that lived in Chicago. He sailed by this lighthouse many times and it had sentimental value to him.

I painted this F-14 for my Navy squadron as a Christmas present. It still hangs in the ready room of the squadron.

This painting was ordered by a Civil War buff. It is small but with a lot of detail.

An Apache helicopter software engineer commissioned this painting of the helicopter.

This F-16 was painted for a class project as a study of contrasts.
