After the "Arrival of the Train" work I decided to get to the sky and paint an airplane. My inspiration was the Verville-Sperry M-1 Messenger an American single-seat biplane designed by Alfred 5. Verville. This painting did not go quite right at the beginning, I had to post pone it till I come back from China. With a fresh look to this work I made a few important changes, like changing a color of the background to a darker color and doing the treatment to the plane, creating a texture, that gives a feeling of the motion.
