'World War I Dog Fight' 36" X 24" Canvas Print is an enlarged custom remake and is now available as an affordable custom canvas print.
This is one of a what is originally a 24" X 18" glazed oil original on stretched canvas, one of John's latest contributions from the early nineties.
It is not only a picture of set rivals engaging in intense battle, it is also an experiment in lighting and tone as the sun sets below the clouds to the west. The artist brings a defined contrast between color and shadow in this depiction of a chase so few would ever experience.
One sees a gravely tense pursuit spiraling across a horizon rich in dazzling color.
The actual piece hangs in the architect design office of Jim Lucachick in Bemidji Minnesota, who also once served as the county commissioner.
I'm sure he'd let you see it if you stopped by on your way through.
