Fantastic illustration, as are the other examples in your portfolio. Particularly like aircraft and 'space' pictures. Are they painted entirely with a brush, or do you use an airbrush with your acrylics? Ray Jeacock

Thanks for your positive comments Ray. All my acrylic paintings are done the old fashioned way with hogs hair bristle or synthetic sable brushes, no airbrush or photoshop.

Gosh - you are taking me back now. I remember watching all this on TV in the year before I got married. Super painting immortalising a special moment in time.
