This painting commemorates
the grandure of spirit shown by Charles Lindbergh during his historic
first solo flight across the Atlantic ocean , spanning New York
and Pairis in 37-1/2 hours The scene is loking southward at sunset
as he arrives over the french coastt near the town of Cherbourgh.
I did a lot of research
on this aircraft, having taken many pictures of the original and
a reproduction in Florida. With this information I built a detailed
model and posed it for that low angle shot. Someone said they
saw some objects in the clouds, but hey, people are always saying
that, aren't they?
