About This Image

I created this unique Air Force painting near July 4th of 2016. The inspiration for it was a photo taken by Tech. Sgt. Christopher Boitz. The original US Air Force photo showed an F-16 fighter jet during an Thunderbirds Air show at the Warriors Over the Wasatch air show at Hill Air Force Base, Utah on June 25, 2016. In the original photo, the jet’s contrail billowed out behind the plane. There was something about the feeling of motion of that original photo that spoke to me and inspired me to run with it.

And I love the result that is this air force painting, a strong piece of patriotic art. Instead of a simple comtrail, the exhaust from the F-16 fighter jet appears to be a billowing American flag unfurling across the blue skies. I grew up not far from Robins Air Force Base in Georgia so I was raised listening to jets shatter the sound barrier in the skies over me. So when I think of July 4th and Americana, it’s hard for me not to envision our Air Force jets. They just pop into my head quite naturally.

I readily admit that this combination of an air force jet and the US flag wasn’t planned from the start. It just sort of appeared as I was working on this Air Force painting. Sometimes the best moments of creativity are just out of the blue sky, aren’t they? This has remained a favorite piece of patriotic art among my work every since. I can’t look at it without feeling a little bit of pride in my country, how about you?

I would love to hear what brought you to by to check out my air force painting? Do you love F-16 jets? Perhaps you or someone special to you served in the US Air Force? Or maybe it just hit the right patriotic note for you, too? Whatever it is, I hope you’ll share your thoughts with me.

How Can I Help?

At the end of the day, it’s important to me that you can put a face with the art you’re considering purchasing through my site. Aside from the print vendor who ultimately prints and ships your order, this is a one man show. The person who made the art is the same one who is typing this message and the one who will answer your questions if you drop me a note.

You are not a number and I care that you are happy with whatever art you might buy here. I’m here if you’d like to ask questions before or after purchasing. And I’m also happy to work with you where possible to customize the work you’re buying. Maybe you’d like a tweak to the shape of a print to fit in with your existing wall art. Or you’d like to add a little nod to someone special in it? Just ask! I also keep a running list of subjects I don’t currently have but people are seeking. So if you enjoy the style of my work but didn’t find quite what you were looking for, please do let me know.

I’ve been an artist for 15 years now and most of that time it’s been my full-time passion. And it matters to both the endorphins in my brain and the food I put on the table for me (and my cats) that you find the experience of purchasing the products offered here to be a pleasure.
