An admiration of the beauty of the classic warbirds.

I'm a hobby artist, nowhere professional. I love to paint in oils, and generally do landscapes but have over the past half year worked on a few aircraft (a Skyraider for a coworker's father who flew them in Vietnam, a Spitfire, and a Piper Cub for my dad in honor of my brother who passed from cancer and was an airline pilot who always talked about owning a Piper Cub one day). I finished this Constellation (August 17, 2024) as a gift for a coworker named Connie. ha ha. Not overly thought of as a warbird, it did have its role in the military. But kept this generic in nature. Maybe a little rough around the edges, but wanted to capture a Connie in flight.

Colonel Charles MacDonald (1914 - 2002), P-38 ace.  Flew in the Pacific Theater of Operations with great distinction, finishing the war with 27 kills, becoming one of the most respected leaders in the process.  Awarded multiple medals and commendations for his duty and service to the country.  The “Putt Putt Maru” is one of the most recognizable P-38 color schemes.
