Leonie Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Howdy all, new member here :) New disabled artist as well. Some of my paintings, acrylic on stretched canvas, most are on 50x70 canvases, exception being the SR-71 it is on one about 40x100 I think it is. Thanks for looking anyways folks :) The first one is the first painting I have done of both an aircraft and since becoming disabled. The last is the one I am currently working on :) Most of them I make "3D" as well by making the nose pop out a little bit. It is also really hard to take good photos of paintings LOL Spitfire Nanchang F/A-18 Hornet- a friends request, and that is why it has not got correct weaponry as he wanted these specific weapons :) F/A-18 Hornet sillouette And finally the one I am currently doing, have nearly finished, SR-71 Blackbird surveying war aftermath Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Spears Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 KEWL !!! Most aviation artists are male,I guess it's a 'blokey' thing,so,it's refreshing to see a lady painting aircraft. When I started out,I entered as many art shows as possible with VERY low prices. As I got better known and sales started,the prices crept up. That's the way it goes in art. As you become 'collectable' the prices go up. I also have a display every Sunday at a local craft market. Very few sales,but I get to talk to potential clients and hand out my business card. You have a great advantage having your dad in the industry. Maybe a few pieces of art on the walls of his workplace? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
