Rob, a lovely painting. Yes, you definitely have muted the colours and I love the dramatic sky.

Smashing finish for a well deserved commission fee Rob. What's not to like?

Wow, Rob! This is tremendous. I love the muted colours too. That stream of white coming off the end of the wing makes it so real! ( Sorry, I don't know what it is called but I have seen it in many a flight)
