The above two drawings whether in pastel pencil or oil pastel are a direct tribute to two memorable human experiences for me and my family members I flew with: the airplane pilot and Reagan National Airport. Before landing at the pretty nice National Airport, I photographed this super scene from my passenger's window before drawing my above two pictures. Just as my former high school, Gonzaga, in Washington, DC's motto is to "...be a man for others," so too did I want to be a man for the man in the cockpit: the airplane's pilot, like the way some athlete's let their television audience know that they want "to thank the man upstairs(God)' for their accomplishments in their chosen sports. By drawing the above two drawings I let the viewer know how I thank the airplane's pilot for bringing/flying this JetBlue plane, I think, in for a safe landing from cool Cape Cod a little over an hour ago into a cloudy Virginia but safe landing noetheless as my drawing of the airplane's left wing stabilly shows approaching the above airport.
