B-17 Begins

Thank you to the wonderful person in the USA who has selected me to paint a commission of the B-17 his dad flew in during the war. This is a special task as this work is going to become a family heirloom. I love the fact that as an artist I can have such an important role in a family remembering their father and grandfather. I hope they will love this work. Here is a glimpse of the early parts of the process. The pictures loaded in reverse order for some reason... enjoy.
