“Gulfstream”, acrylic on 12″x12″ canvas
I painted this view of a Gulfstream that Brother flies as a Christmas gift to him. I don’t write about family much so you may not know that Brother is a retired Army aviator and now flies for a large US company’s CEO. He was an instructor pilot for Gulfstream for many years before going to work for a private company. He has flown since he was in his mid-teens so it has been really cool to see him do something as a career that he has always enjoyed.
Original Reference Photo for Gulfstream Painting
When he was in Virginia on a work visit this past summer I met him at Dulles for lunch and that is when I got the photo of the new plane he was flying and I loved this composition so much that I thought why not paint it for him.
I gave it to him yesterday and I think he liked it!
Happy New Year!
