Thanks Terry. That first one already looks like a painting on canvas.

Very interesting, I was looking at the last photo for a possible painting but I'm now wondering about the first one :)
It's a beautiful aircraft which like the spitfire has no bad angles :)
"Ad Astra" would make a nice title.

It's what I do for a living, Terry, but
it's your's!

GRATIS!

You knew you came on this "Forum"
for a reason! ;)

And Vulcan needs a "Paint Job" anyway...........

That first one's a case of Goldilock's
Porridge!

Just Right!

Cheers Dan :) a signed print will be on it's way you as soon as the paint job's done :)
I don't want to seem nosey Dan, but what is it you do for a living?

Just had a brain wave and looked at your profile, with that title I would have to say you are indeed a poet.

Mister Jones::::::::::

Well, the thing I do that relates to dreaming
up a title for your yet-to-be Vulcan painting
is the consulting work I do for small to medium
sized companies that need HELP to define
themselves in the marketplace.

I do other things as well like book editing and
teaching writing skills, but mostly I just have
IDEAS! It's a curse, and I wake up in the middle
of the night a lot, but it's what I do mostly......

I receive telephone calls for my services when
some business owner or manager asks: "Who
was that Guy that came in with all that stuff
about what we have to start doing to stay in the
game?"

THEN I get the phone call........

I and my clients have had lots of success, btw.......

A Catch Phrase is the same as an Artwork Title.

It just comes to me..............

I've heard the best ideas come at night. I had a friend who used to wake up at night and write entire songs, bloody good songs too.
I had a dream once, some guy was giving me grief, calling me names and in my dream I came up with the perfect come back. I woke up straight after and grabbed a pen to write it down. When I got up in the morning I remembered the note I'd written and read it back, it said "The same to you" :(

Before doing the above Vulcan I thought I'd have a go with another photo taken at Southport. It isn't a very good photo but I liked the light on it. I should be able to make a start on the intended Vulcan very soon :)

Thanks for your comments guys, I'm really pleased you all like it :) It's the first jet I've ever painted, the Mig-21 being the second. Now I've had a taste of these beautiful aircraft I can see many more being painted. Plans for another Vulcan are being made and a E.E Lightning is most certainly on the list.

Thanks again, I really appreciate you taking the time to have a look at my work.

Cheers,

Terry
