I have added a few more aircraft sketches and paintings to the folder done this week at the aerodrome,you cannot beat getting up close to draw detail and capturing the character of the aircraft.

Nice work Barry. I am not gifted in that department but appreciate the effort that goes into it.

Thank you Lou,we have had an exceptional amount of rain here in the UK now for weeks which has caused some flooding in my old fire station workshop and I have had to keep on top of things with mop and bucket,some nights it has rained all the time.
I do the pictures when sitting with my wife in the daily visits to the home,the staff there are quite intrigued to see someone painting and often come to see them,wonder what they would think of solid models ?

Wonderful sketches and paintings Barry. You are indeed very talented. I wonder what that would be like. :)

Lovely paintings, Barry! Watercolors are the hardest medium to do well, and you DO them well! I especially like your sky and cloud treatments. Keep up the good work.
And keep your chin up!
