Artist's Description
The Supermarine IX (#NE398 ) Spitfire was one of the most graceful aircraft built during WWII. This painting was commissioned by England's leading WWII ace Johnnie Johnson, later becoming Britain's Air Vice Marshall.
Johnson took command of No. 144 Wing (Canadians) based at RAF Kenley. They received the new Spitfire IX: the answer to the German's Fw 190 which outmanouvered many of the older version Spitfires. Being a Wing Commander (Wingco) now meant his initials could be painted on the machine. His Spitfires now carried JE-J. His call sign was "Greycap". Rather than show a battle scene, I chose to paint a more serene image matching the beautyful lines of this great aircraft. This piece resulted in the release of a series of Johnsosn's hand signed prints.

Heritage Gallery, Laguna, CA I'm often told; "Your art is so real looking why not just take a photo"? Well yes, if I could not draw I probably would, however a photo rarely reflects the three dimensional world we experiences, how often have you been disappointed that your photograph did not turn out as you expected? Let me explain; in a three dimensional world we see things subjectively, photographs can only capture a split second of any scene which often disappoints and is the main reason...

Made many a solid wooden model of WWII aircraft in the 40's. This was one of my favorites. They were painted black, then send to England for Civil Defense classes in Aircraft Recognition. Wish I still had a few of those we made in woodworking classes... Love this painting, excellent work in the clouds....
