Dago Red Painting

[noooby]

Ok, I'll go first.

Here is my original oil on board painting of Dago Red, painted by Charles Thompson from the UK. Approx 4 ft by 2 1/2 ft. I've had it for at least 12 years now.

If any of you have the book Aviation Art by Michael Sharpe, my painting is on page 188.

Wow that is stunning!

Thanks Dave. Super nice guy too. He was Chief Designer at Ford UK for a number of years. Mk1 Cortina is one of his designs.

Here is a small bio about him, with my painting in the background and another of his to its left (Bae 146 prototype).

There is a small blurb on the back of the painting listing all the shows it was in. It crossed the Atlantic a number of times for shows before heading to NZ for me and then back across the Pacific to where I now live in Canada.

Yes that's a very nice painting. Of course he's good......he's a Ford man!
