About "Sailor Malan Model Spitfire Dedication"

This water colour was produced to be presented to Rob Tribelhorn, a volunteer of the PE SAAF Museum who constructed the full scale Spitfire model dedicated to Sailor Malan's AGM MKIX.
It took Rob, assisted by various voluteers working part time about 9 years to complete .
The text below the painting is:
Presented to
Rob Tribelhorn for the immense effort given, and fortitude displayed in constructing our "Spit."
"Somehow thank you just isn't enough!"
"aut viam inveniam aut faciam"- I'll either find a way or make a way.
The Officer In Charge - South African Air Force Museum Port Elizabeth.

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.
