Spitfire's Safe Return, (Hi res,reworked)
New Hi res.
“This is a commission depicting the Safe Return of an unknown spitfire during the early summer of 1942. The commissioner requested “Moles” somewhere in the painting as he is a mole-catcher by profession. I’ve done a few alterations since last seen on RB (thanks to Bob Martin for crit) and I’ve given it a matt varnish finish which brings out the colours.
Acrylic on canvas board. 24”x 18”

A very interesting aside about the moles and mole catcher. Gives the picture a sort of earthy charm. Is this scene based on an experience he witnessed?
Woodie replied
Hi John
No, the mole-catcher is to young, but I always try to make my paintings “Personal”.to the buyer!
