Well done again, Fred. Great jungle greens and an atmospheric sky.

I love these jungle paintings Fred. They must bring back memories and they're wonderful for us to see. Well done! From now on I'll think of you as a "jungle bunny"!

Another fabulous jungle painting, Fred! Love it - you really, really convey the atmosphere and the excitement of the scene.It's like being there. Unfortunately, my friend's grandad was killed by the enemy sometime during the end of WWII, I think, so it's a bit too late for him to see your paintings, but she also paints and she loves your work. Like me, she especially admires your ability to create green paintings without making a mess of it!

Another painting from my old b/w photo's. This is the helicopter arriving to take us out of the jungle and back to base. The RAF used to refer to us as "Jungle Bunnies".
