| Delta Commission: Engine | 16 x 16 | Oil on panel |
This is the second of five commissioned paintings for the Delta Sky Club at JFK. It's funny, when I was in tech school working towards my Airframe & Powerplant license, my classmates would often comment on the notes I'd take in class. They were usually embellished with little drawings and they would say, "man, why are you here, you should be an artist!". My hope, at that time was that I would upon graduation go to work for Delta Airlines. That didn't happen, but now 30+ years later I'm actually working as an artist, and will have my paintings hanging in the Delta Airlines Sky Club.
Interesting story! Nice painting! It's great!
ReplyDeleteAwesome painting! Awesome full circle story!
ReplyDeleteThat's called an accomplishment. Thanks for sharing the story. I love your work. Did you paint these from photograph? How long does it take? Is it oil or acrylics? I would love to know more about your process actually :) You can check out my blog and drop me a line at simon@holzman.fr.
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone.
ReplyDeleteHolzy - I was given permission to photograph on the flightline at the airport (accompanied every step by security), and it's painted in oil.
Gorgeous piece! Great composition and palette.
ReplyDeleteSuperbe série et travail toujours parfait !
