Lancashire where we have Northern Rain, I am sure we would swop for your Sun:ok:

Can't open your picture for some reason :ugh:

[RobbyK]

I doubt you'd want our southern rain. That's half the reason my paintings have taken so long to dry. Non stop around here.

Spooky, Can't imagine the link not opening but you could right click on the image place holder to locate my site perhaps?

Regards

Very nice piece of work-thanks for posting. Wish I could draw or paint, but I just have to satisfy myself with taking photos of aircraft.

[RobbyK]

Thank you SirFreddie. I'm working on an Air Nostalgia DC3 which may be ready in a few weeks.

Cheers

Wonderful painting of a fabulous aircraft RobbyK. :ok::ok:

Would the Connie have visited Bankstown any time? I have an old piccie of some of AA's Beavers in the fifties at Bankston, the background looks zackery the same.

[RobbyK]

Thanks Pig Boat.

Super Cec, This painting is actually comprised of several reference images, and I doubt any of them were taken in Oz actually. My original Southern Sun reference was taken in some tropical paradise. Two others I can't quite identify maybe Mauritius and possibly Bombay. Most of the pics of Qantas connies are almost worthless, almost as if I'd taken them all on my own 127 Box Brownie.

OK Kapitan Rob, in a month or so I'll show yoo thut piccie :8

[RobbyK]

Indeed to. Would be great to see. Maybe I can use it as a reference to paint a Cargolux 747... "spot the difference". Cheers :ok::ok:
