About "SAAF Aerospatiale MK111 AlouettPinnacle Maneuver"

This painting by Don Bell depicts a South African Air Force Aerospatiale MK111 Alouette helicopter, no. 632 of the 16th Squadron, maneuvering in a gap in thick cloud covering the Dolerite pinnacles of the Sneeuberg (Snow Mts) mountains of the “Great Karoo” (Place of Thirst). In clear weather these mountains overlook hundreds of kilometers across the Valley of Desolation. The Sneeuberg also surounds the Settler town of Graaff-Reinet and the Sundays River. Located in the in the Eastern Cape of South Africa, the SAAF carried out military exercises with the South African Defense Force in the area. This helicopter is now a static display in the SAAF Port Elizabeth Museum.

About Don

I am a multi-faceted artist and illustrator, Senior Professional Architectural Technologist, former advertising exec and keen photographer. I work in oil, water colours, charcoal, pencil, Acrylics, pen and mixed-media including digital art. I enjoy all types of subject matter ranging from wildlife, landscapes, seascapes, portraits - across the spectrum to architecture, contemporary art, aviation, ships, trains and still life.
My aviation works are well researched and the aircraft and locations are accurate as possible so that they provide a true historical record for others to appreciate.

EDUCATION & PRIVATE TUITION:
I attended art classes from a young age and was privately tutored by Andre' Vancoillie, well-known local artist and lecturer at the age of 16 years as well as Paul Lavender in water colours.
My appreciation to Mrs Chilcott, my high school art teacher who saw something in me and went out of her way to mentor me by giving me extra art lessons in her spare time.
I matriculated in art at the PE Technical College and mention Mrs. Hill who assisted me greatly.

PRINTS AVAILABLE:
All my works are available as prints.
