Paul Rigby Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 This is the third painting I have from the Lincolnshire-based artist, Robin Smith. This one is full of symbolism. Partly, the dogfight itself, partly the location, the low level indicating that maybe this particular fight has been going on for a time and the rather playful nature of the aircraft movement. This reflects witness reports on the ground who often talked about the "aerial ballet" going on above. So graceful and serene from below which contrasted with the stress and turmoil for those in the heat of the battle. Paul 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinnerboy Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Lovely, a very evocative view of those days 75 years ago, may have to buy a print of that. The only criticism I have is that the light house is the wrong colour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
