I’m a fan of several artists, Robert Taylor in particular of course, but it doesn’t really matter who has painted the image. If it jumps out at me when I first see it I know it’ll never get ‘old’ hanging on my wall. Smaller works by Taylor, like Top Dog, really get me going and I prefer ‘flying’ as opposed to ‘combat’ (however…). Richard Taylor is turning out some good stuff. His First Strike is a painting that hooked me from the first time I saw it in a magazine. His new Tropical Duties has done the same and will one day fill my Sunderland void.
Michael Turner is a firm favourite but I’ve only managed to get his Legends Of WWII calendar for a few years so far. Certainly whets the appetite and so many of his images are familiar and warmly remembered.
Alex Hamilton, I reckon, does the best cloudscapes in the business. He also does a good little calendar.
If anyone can recommend a good Halifax (I do like Taylor’s The Hard Way Home) and Far East Beaufighter print, I would be most grateful.
