New work - 477/17

The heated debate that is currently going on between between Dan-San, Langdon, et.al. regarding the color of 477/17 coincides with a commission that I just finished up of that same aircraft. I subscribe to the partially red theory...

Russ- Great painting. I believe the red aircraft at Lechelle is 425/17 as well.

Thanks guys. Greg van Wyngarden advised me on the color scheme, so as long as I have one well respected expert in my corner I feel pretty safe.

Sorry, John. This one will only be available as a 13" x 16" open edition. The good news is, the smaller open editions are more affordable.
