Description
The painting is watercolor in a gray wooden frame with a mat finish.
A Lockheed Super G Constellation with Lufthansa markings flies toward the viewer in this painting, back in the "Glory Days" of aviation. The "Connie" was the first pressurized airliner and was designed by Lockheed Aircraft Corporation at the 1939 behest of Howard Hughes, a major stockholder in TWA, who wanted a 40 passenger transcontinental airliner. The propellers were so large (~19 ft dia) that the landing gear became quite tall, and a huge single tail would not have gone through the doors of aircraft hangers of the day, thus the lower triple tail came to be.
This painting is based on a photo taken of a model also built by the artist.
