''The Screaming Tree''

From time to time I get into a photographic mood; this piece was created this afternoon. As with all my photographic works, also found on my website, this one is available as a high quality print, mounted/matted and ready to frame.

Tuskegee Airman Portrait

A graphite drawing of, Howard A. Wooten, who graduated on December of 1944 from the Air Corps School at Tuskegee, Alabama.

This piece is NOT for sell and is for my own Tuskegee collection.

However, if you require any portraits of family members, relatives, or maybe friends,

Back from Blighty!

Well, back from my trip and pleased to report a good time was had by all. Gathered plenty of inspiration and am ready get artistic after a goodnight's sleep.

Highlights of the trip: nothing artistic, but had a rather stormy crossing on the English Channel, while the ship also suffered a minor power loss; it all supplemented to the flavour, and with the few pints of beer I'd downed, added to the intrepid, adventurer persona I'd created for myself.

My discoveries: I'm not quite the natural sailor I'd imagined myself to be, especially if turning green is evidence of this.

Anyway, made some good contacts and also got a cat commission, so yay!

Artist's Road Trip...............

Tomorrow I drive up to Northern France and catch a ferry back across the Channel to dear old England. I'm taking my camera with me, some art materials and will hopefully find plenty of inspiration along the way.

So, until next week then.........

Welcome To My New Blog!

Just opened this new blog, mainly to separate my historical aviation subjects from my landscapes, wildlife, domestic pets and generally, what has become a very varied portfolio. Within this blog I plan to submit my latest artwork on a regular basis, giving viewers a chance to enjoy my work, make a purchase, or perhaps indulge themselves in commissioning an artwork.

Within the links section you will find my website and also any other blogs or sites hosted by myself.

Anyway, enough chat; on with the show.

Alexandre Jay.
