I have an exhibition later in the year which will be a combination of marine and aviation work. So at the moment I am looking at themes related to both subjects. I am particularly drawn to the early days of aviation and a number of works from that period will feature in the show, but the first subject will probably be a daring Mosquito raid on a French Chateau during World War II.
Footage exists on YouTube of the raid I wish to portray, well worth viewing.

I have begun the preliminary work on the composition but there is much to do before embarking on the final painting.
