Whilst doing this Swedish fighter plane I had to think about how speed influences a painting. Deliberate detailed and slow work on something can make it excellent technically but also dull. How does one keep the freshness of the eye and work, without spontaneity and courage at the final stages?
Camouflage is also intriguing - a 'trompe d'euille' of complex colours and forms. Now the fashion industry has taken it to another level. How can we know who is friend and who is enemy these days? Old rules no longer apply.
