Painter/RV Builder Paul Tuttle!

[Ironflight]

This has been mentioned before in the forums, but folks, we have got a significant artistic talent among us! Wen I got home from Arkansas this afternoon, I found this image in my PM box, with a note from Paul Tuttle saying that after a few months of tweaking and such, he considers this painting finished. I am utterly amazed at what he did - Paul painted this and posted it (unfinished) on the forums a few months back, based on a few lines description of a little flight I made last summer among the building cumulus on the gulf coast. I didn't ask him to paint it - he just did it, and as I told him when I saw this finished version, his ability to capture not only the detail of the scene, but the spirit and motion of it as well is just an unbelievable talent.

As I said when he posted it earlier, I am honored and humbled that he chose to paint my machine....



Maybe he'll paint a few more, and can have an "all-RV" gallery showing!

Thanks again Paul,
