I don't have a name for this painting yet but I'm open to suggestions. This is a depiction of CP-107 Argus Mark 1, 10712, in 407 "Demons" markings and Warm Yellow propeller spinners. There is a Winged Trident on the tail of this aircraft (the Squadron markings). The real aircraft is on display at 19 Wing, Comox, BC. It is 18" by 30" on 1/4" MDF. This piece was painted with Golden professional grade artist's Acrylics. The background was done in the new "Open" line, which has a longer drying time to permit improved wet-in-wet blending techniques. It also has a nice warming glaze applied to enhance color depth and quality. The aircraft was drawn over the top of the background (as usual) and painted in the regular Golden Acrylics. I hope you like it.
Like most of my art, this painting is available for sale. I ship worldwide. E-mail for a quote. Thanks.
