Very convincing and challenge well met Michael

I do like this Michael , my favourite aircraft I love working with them in the late sixties. I think the painting works really well , the shape of the aircraft is spot on and to me the impressionist style gives it a blurry look as in movement and boy could they move .

A brilliant painting Michael. The metallic sheen of the Lightning’s draws them to the focus of your paint. I really like your approach to the clouds.
