Douglas C-47 or DC-3 Taking Off

Douglas C-47 or DC-3 Taking Off
7.5 x 20   Oils on panel

This painting is not finished as I need to paint in the U.S. insignia on the fuselage. 


The Wikipedia article says, in part: "The Douglas C-47 Skytrain or Dakota is a military transport aircraft that was developed from theDouglas DC-3 airliner. It was used extensively by the Allies during World War II and remained in front line operations through the 1950s with a few remaining in operation to this day."

DC-3 taking off at dusk  14 x 24  Oils on panel

I had a piece of gessoed panel lying around that is 14 x 24 inches. Not many subjects work on a long rectangular format. When I saw a photo of a WWII C-47 I decided to make it a civilian DC-3.  

I've been working on too  many people paintings so I've decided to make some paintings without people being the most obvious part of the painting.  

I'm putting together a sole exhibit at the local library and when I laid out the paintings, almost all were paintings of people!  More on the exhibit later. I do the setup tomorrow (Monday January 17th 2011)
