A commissioned work for a client who really liked an earlier, smaller version but wanted a larger canvas.
So I changed the sky and kept the sailplane as was.

I have had a passion for aircraft since I was a child. I now have pleasure in airbrush painting portraits of these wonderful machines and would welcome commissions to bring your favourite to life.

When I saw this image I just had to paint it. This photo was taken before the high gloss clear lacquer was applied, which gives the work huge depth and really enhances the metal look.

The R.N.Z.A.F. flew many of these fantastic aircraft in the Pacific during W.W.2.
I wanted to capture the beauty of a Pacific sunset glowing around this great aircraft.

When I first joined th R.N.Z.A.F. as a 16 year old, I was lucky enough to have 3 or 4 flights in a glider at Omaka airfield Blenheim, N.Z.
I thoroughly enjoyed but unfortunately I couldnt afford to take it up as a sport.
So here is my homage to a wonderful way of flying.
