we've had the "show us your hobby room" thread, now its the "show us your paintings on the wall thread"

First up, Vulcan at the top of the stairs, flying over Lincoln Cathedral, which is just north of RAF Waddington

Hastings dropping supplies to the navy during the Cod War - this is waiting to be re-hung following Isaac being moved into what was the study

The only piece of real aviation art we have on display is "Big Beautiful Doll" by Robert Summers.  It's a signed LE print that my Mom bought me when I got my first real pilot job.

I also have LE print of "A Test of Courage" (B-17 tail Gunner facing down a FW-190) by Keith Ferris, but it's stored away.
So I got that going for me...which is nice....

I'll get all of mine out and photograph them. Currently, I must have about 15 pictures that I've picked up at airshow's.

Well the only "aviation" art I actually have on the wall is this girly dragonfly in my bedroom, all my bedroom hangings are girly/arty things, hmm odd for a single man



Then there's my Christmas pressie from Jonelle which still isn't hung



and though I don't place alot of stock in possesions this may be the most valuable to me and the first thing I saved if there was a fire, Paul Simonon's "flying" P-bass. 1979 I was 14 and me and my mates went on a day trip to London and we watched this guy pasting tons of posters on a fence in Wardour Street, waited for him to leave and wen't and tried to peel them down, this was one of the few that didn't rip too badly and survived the day while still covered in wet paste. An original CBS promo poster.



and of course there's the "ghost" calendar above the bench but that pic changes as often as I remember that a month has passed.

I invite all and any criticism, except about Eric The Dog, it's not his fault he's stupid
