Limited Edition Aviation Art by Sam Lyons More Info »

Sam Lyon's love of aviation since childhood led him down the road to his present career as a world-renowned aviation artist. His paintings can be found at military bases, museums, aviation gift shops, and in pilots' art collections throughout the United States, Canada, and Europe. Through his membership in the Air Force Art Program, Sam's painting "Lead Solo" graces the Air Force Art Hall in the Pentagon.

"Racing for Home" has an entertaining story behind its creation. The idea for the piece began 15 years ago when he did a sketch on a restaurant napkin. The quick sketch went into his idea file and there it sat. Fast forward to 2009. One of Sam's most loyal customers was due for his yearly commission. Buddy Stallings is head of Eastern Aviation Fuels, the nationwide distributor for Shell aviation products. He wanted to feature a Cub in this year's original painting so Sam put on his thinking cap and pulled out his idea file. That's how "Racing for Home" came to life. The pretty yellow Piper Cub is heading in the same direction as the 1951 Chevy truck (which is actually Sam's truck) and their destination is the old-fashioned red barn and grass strip up the road. This print is produced on acid-free, neutral-pH paper with permanent inks and is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. The 22" x 17.5" prints are available in a Limited Edition size of 300 Signed & Numbered and 30 Artist Proofs.
