I love aviation art made with acrylics and oils. I love the way you rendered the water and the atmospheric conditions.

Excellent aviation paintings, David!
I think out of the ones that you have posted, I like this one the best. You have really captured the emotion as the planes wave-hop along to their destination! So often, I've seen artists completely concentrate on the machines, and neglect the background. You have great control in depicting both the planes andthe landscape, which is an essential element (in my opinion) to make this genre of art successful!
Keep up the great work, and welcome to DA!!
