"A Moment's Peace" (P-38)

Hi guys,

Hot off the easel ... this will be the final version of my upcoming P-38 painting. The final 24 x 32 canvas will have a couple of distant Lightnings added.

A Moment's Peace
Oil on panel
11 x 14
(Study for Twin-tailed Dragons)

It's excellent. Although with a title "A Moments Peace" I expected it to be on the ground.

I have two of them coming up. First one is a takeoff scene of 8AF fighters with good hangar/watch office/jeep/men/etc. details in the background, and after that I have a south pacific Corsair scene showing planes on the ground with associated details, etc. I'm working on sketches for both in my spare time now. Check my site for details later.

Wow very nice. Keep it up. I dig the sharks on the engines.
