Hi Wade,
this is nice background from my point of view. I work complete different- I paint full background and then work object on it. Today I have just start new art with the Fokker Dr.I in flight, continue with Fokker D.XXI and next day will start with Fokker D.VII. In some reason all Fokkers and all in oils.
Best of your art is the influence of the old tradition of impressionism which gives full feeling of the atmosphere in the object you paint. Really nice dynamics and composition in your art.
Thank you for this last update and keep on good art
