Ever
since I can remenber, I've been drawing; a virus I got from my
mother who was fascinated by the practise of painting and sculpture.
As a little boy, I spent hours sketching mounted cow-boys, aircraft
in dog-fight and knights in armour (definitely not princesses
or fairies). Finally the planes gained the upper hand; probably
because of the wonderful kit boxes with captivating illustrations.
These days I make them myself regularly as ordered by the kit
manufacturer Heller, hoping that my works will have a similar
influence on other kids.
Every artist has a source of inspiration,
a spiritual father in someway ; mine is Michael
Turner.
Indeed, his work gave me a liking for making sports cars.Indeed,
his work gave me a liking for making sports cars. Looking
at his paintings, I understood the setting is almost more important
than the aircraft or car.If
you can guess the air temperature, the hour of the day, the height
of an airscape or the speed of a car, you surely got
a
quality painting. Add an original composition, the decisive
factor, and you've got all the elements assembled.
So, now you know all about the pleasure of
painting
cars and aircraft.

The
FRENCH FERTE ALAIS 2007 AIRSHOW
Thanks
to all our visitors who visited my gallery during the airshow.
The meeting was disturbed by poor weather conditions. The
never ending rain forced to stop the flying demonstration
on sunday afternoon. Bad day for the 20 000 people who wanted
to see their favourite aircrafts flying. For the first time,
some helicopters were present at the Ferte Alais airshow.
Among them, we could spot a Eurocopter Tigre ! Thanks to Wilfried
for the saturday evening we spent playing guitar between the
airplanes !
