What's not to like, they are amazing!

Thank you Most appreciated.

A few of new Watercolour Silhouettes, Jackal on the Prowl, Sherman Sunrise, Scimitar Silhouette and Scorpion Silhouette. Hope you like them

Nice one, gave me a jolt of nostalgia.

I once had a picture of my Recce unit in Germany as a 35mm photograph silhouetted in a similar effect. Annoyingly I lost the photo and the press office borrowed the negative. It was my best photo I had ever taken and they lost it! Still think of it 30 years on. Hay Ho.

 

Very effective and love it.

Sorry to hear about the photo and negative. Can never trust a press office lol. Sometimes the simplest images are the most effective. Thanks for the feedback.

Any way to put a copyright sitcker over, I know it would detract from the full effect but might help

Thanks for the heads up. I do use a copyright mark, but on these images they are only small. But I will add it to more images from now on. Appreciate the advice.

Very nice!

Thank you.

They have an indefinable something you do not find in a photograph

Thank you. Much appreciated.

Very nice.

Thank you.

I saw the top one and thought it was a photo.

Very well done!

Thank you. Sometimes the simplest are the most effective.

Stunning, first look thought they were photographs, any others?

Cheers, I do have others Silhouettes but not Military vehicles, but there are more in the pipeline and I will share them when they are finished.

A few new Water colour Silhouettes. Quicker to paint than the more detailed work, but these can be quite effective. Hope you like them.

Thanks Tom. Most appreciated.

Very nice David...that's talent!

Nice job Although you did forget the unditching log that's normally carried strapped across the hull above the back doors

Thanks.Neil.

Finished my commission of the Russian BMP Watercolour Painting. Image size is 16" x 12".

Finished the Pencil Drawing of the Scimitar for the same client who had the Challenger 2 Pencil Drawing.

Time for a new Drawing, this time of the smaller Scimitar with a Chinook doing what Chinooks do in the Background.

Amazing artwork.

I liked that I had to watch a few times to see al the planes on it.

Thank you. It certainly took some planning.

No problems. It was a busy day. Nothing wrong with just Spitfires and Lancasters, it would make a nice image.

Right next to where I had the painting set up. A great day and lots of great people about.

A large Canvas depicting the 100 year history of 41 Sqn based at Coningsby, Lincolnshire. From the present day Typhoon as the main focus, a selection of Aircraft from Bi-planes to present day jets have been added to this painting.

Pictures! Um, dozens. I'm quite happy to send you any I have for your general use. A friend of mine did a commision for me for Carol, Katy's restorer and former owner. He did her in a Norfolk style setting. Totally alien to where Katy was in Jersey, but just the sort of area she'd have worked in at a USAAF base. So Value the artist's imagination.

That would be nice to see. Could you share the image, and any photos would be greatly appreciated.
