Wow! Thanks for a warm welcoming! I'm producing new work all of the time, as I try to be the hardest working aviation artist in the business (I do this full time). I'm always looking for input, suggestions, desired topics, and even rebuke.

I've got two prints coming signed from Japan: a "Claude" piece and a "Betty" print. I'm also working on a B-25 and F4U-5N.

Thanks again!

Ron Cole

Not R.J Coles who drew this Gloster by any chance? Just a coincidence?
It's going back to 1972.

Interesting! But I was three years old in 1972.

Thanks!

I like how you capture the mood in many scenes... it's much more than just a portrayal of warbirds.. very dynamic and thought provoking.

I have a Robert Taylor... I'd consider one of these but I'm trying to downsize my possessions!

I am a medium bomber guy. May I ask what you are planing for the B25? I would guess the Air Apaches. I would like to suggest one of the 13th AF's birds. They do not get much press. I enjoy looking at your work. If I ever find a house, I will order one.

Cool artwork. I love the Ju-87 picture!

Nice house but I think the drive to work would be a little much. Then again, I could always fly in.

Thanks for all the great comments!

Regarding the B-25 piece in the works: I've got five aircraft on a Port Morseby taxiway from the front, with the lead aircraft veering slightly to its left. Challenging environment - early morning, sunrise just after a heavy thunderstorm (normal for New Guinea). Wet ground (some heavily distorted reflections of the aircraft). Sun-lit thunderheads in the background. Lots of water in the air - lit by landing lights on.

I haven't thought about markings yet.

Coles, you have some awesome artwork! Your perspective is great! I just told my pre-wife that for X-mas I want the Galland aurographed Emil! Great stuff!

You are very talented. I love the way the light plays off of storm clouds when the sun breaks through. I cannot wait to see your B-25s
