Dej Posted August 14, 2010 Posted August 14, 2010 (edited) Cross & Cockade International have announced their WW1 Aviation Painting of the Year 2010. It's best viewed here and is, IMO, one of the finest pieces of WW1 aviation art I've seen. Great composition, superb angle, evocative action, lovely attention to detail etc. The Guild of Aviation Artists site is worth a visit too, if you've never been... the online galleries are here Edited August 14, 2010 by Dej Quote
RAF_Louvert Posted August 15, 2010 Posted August 15, 2010 . Dej, that is an exceptional painting and as you say, very evocative. I currently have it set as my screensaver. A few of my other personal favorites in the GAvA gallery at the moment are: "High Altitude", by Barry Barnes; "Harry Tate", by David Clarke; "Brooding Skies", by Ken Farmer; and "Ninak Over Pyramids", by Brian Woodhead. Cheers! Lou . Quote
SirMike1983 Posted August 15, 2010 Posted August 15, 2010 Some excellent paintings there. I'm always partial to Nieuports and Spads. These are my #1 and #2. The Jean Navarre painting is an absolute gem. http://www.gava.org.uk/images/large/2010/104.jpg http://www.gava.org.uk/images/large/2010/239.jpg Quote

Lou, like all your choices too, though I confess it was Laurence Hemming's 'Bristol Fighters over Jerusalem' that made me think of you Edited August 16, 2010 by Dej Quote
