Olham 164 Posted July 18, 2011 (edited) The "Barmy OFFers Art Gallery" is proud to be able to present to you two paintings by Al Forbes, which we could borrow for a short time from his gallery over at "The Aerodrome". The first is a German "Taube", climbing in the frosty clear air of a winter's day. The other is showing a nice contrast between the warm tone of the sunset reflecting from the wings of a Sopwith Pup, and the high blue sky, where a DFW C.V is taking on the fight.

Dej 17 Posted July 18, 2011 (edited) This is my favourite of Al Forbes, as I think I've mentioned before: I also like Jerry Boucher's work although it's slightly too clean for my ideal tastes: Edited July 18, 2011 by Dej Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olham 164 Posted July 18, 2011 (edited) Yes, Jerry Boucher's stuff is perhaps quite clean and very realistic, but with that special touch, that the art on model kit boxes used to have - somehow dynamic IMHO. Here's another: Quite similar, but with more juicey colours is this painting by Steve Anderson: "Twilight of the Jagdflieger" Edited July 18, 2011 by Olham Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wayfarer 5 Posted July 19, 2011 I give the Aerodrome gallery a quick click virtually every day, in anticipation of some new piece. There is some superb work there. I always liked that Al Forbes picture of the Taube. The way it picks out the wood and the wire around that birdlike shape. It almost has the air of a fantasy, like a pastiche of an early design which never really flew. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lewie 7 Posted July 19, 2011 It is better to do so then ask for forgiveness... than ask and not get to do it... 'Xactly!, and there's the required high level of Barmyness that needs to be maintained. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
