Per the two 368th FG P-47 painting images I had posted above, I just received word that the artist and very close friend Bob St. Vincent passed away. He is probably at this very moment up there drumming up commission painting jobs from all of the Jug pilots who had preceded him.

As the Billy Joel song goes - only the good die young.

Check eBay . Lots of stuff out there and I have added several pieces of more affordable artwork to my collection. John Young does some nice work . Gil Ortega does some beautiful pencil drawings too. Here is a link to his site.... http://www.lonnieortegaaviationart.com/

Lonnie Ortega always has a booth set up at air events around So. California. I enjoy his work very much.

Maybe I missed it (wouldn't be a first), but as long as this thread has gone, I can't believe R.G. Smith hasn't been mentioned...

Hi Will, I hope this string isn't closed. I enjoy all aircraft art and have checked out each one that has been suggested plus what I have managed to surf on my own. If you are interested in what it takes to create one of these art works from concept to finish check out wanemeyersart.tripod.com and click on Eagles of Thunder parts 1&2. BTW cool pic on your profile. Are you in it?

Hello all,

My favorite artists have to be Gerald Coulson and Barry Weekley. Both do great WW1 stuff.
