Proof #1: cruising flight

The first graphite rough, 7 x 10". Cruising flight, 3/4 backlight dancing on the clouds. The custom paint is visible, though not perhaps to best effect, and the N-number would show up in the full-sized painting, if a little less prominently. But this angle makes for a much more dynamic comp. Second to be executed starting tomorrow.

Problems: Starboard wingtip is cropped awkwardly. Need more depth in the cloudscape.
