Description
True aviators at heart - the type that likes to fly low and slow - will adore Sam Lyons' touching Round the Patch. The stunning 16" x 22½" illustration showcases the simple pleasures of piloting for the sheer joy of the experience. At its center, the image depicts a vibrant yellow Piper Super Cub - a mainstay of many of Lyons' creations - circling the traffic pattern at a lush grassy airstrip. Fans of the iconic little taildragger will delight at the artist's faithful replication of all of its beloved characteristics, as well as the wealth of verdant scenery that defines the rural airport. Its trio of distinctive hangars - including one with an orange & white checkered roof and another with an "Air BP" rooftop marking - bring a level of uniqueness to the picture that make it feel like the viewer's home base. The drawing's clear blue sky, distant rolling terrain, and copious greenery further make observers appreciate the blessings of nature. The image is truly a feast for the eyes!
