My main interest is painting Aviation Art.
I get a lot of enjoyment researching the historical background behind the picture I’ve been commissioned to paint.
I work in acrylic on my big paintings on canvas board but use water colors, pastels, soft and oil, for smaller pieces.
I also enjoy doing pet portraits in soft pastels on tinted paper, from photographs. Ideal presents for Xmas and birthdays.

    You keep coming up with these gems Woodie. Beautifully painted – especially when we know the techincal details will be perfect. I love the reflected highlights under the plane.

    I love works of man-made tech. in a background of nature. Love the mans work which I paint a lot, but no one can touch the beauty of the one who made it all. Great Painting!

    i MUST GO AROUND WITH MY EYES CLOSED, it’s another one i haven’t seen and as usual anther masterpiece and just what we need for the group

  • Thanks Jim
    It’s hard work and time consuming going through someone portfolio when they have more than a couple of pages. You are doing well considering you have only been on RB for a short while and already have formed a Group.
