Description
(Copyright Mel Steinhauer all rights reserved) What IF... you really liked airplanes ? Especially historic ones from the early days of our adventures into the friendly skies. Like this beautiful Howard Hughes H-1 Racer in which he set the air speed record of 352 mile per hour in 1935. Then in January of 1937 he flew from Los Angeles to Newark, New Jersey in only 7 hours and 28 minutes. With spotlights illuminating the highly polished aluminum, I just had to add some futuristic effects and painterly style brush strokes. So to me, this was not just another old airplane. I saw a powerful symbol of the human spirit to defy earth's gravity and change the world with ... A Shining Example.
I created this image from my original photograph taken on location by adding digital enhancements, textures or painterly-style effects. These effects and image details will become more visible by clicking inside the green magnifier square as the cursor is placed over the image.
PLEASE NOTE: Our professional printing facilities have a feature for customers who desire artwork prepared for them to be in standard sizes such as 8 x 10, 11 x 14, 16 x 20, 24 x 30, 36 x 24 and so on. When you select your image to purchase, from the SIZE tab choose a VERTICAL, HORIZONTAL or SQUARE format. Notice that some portions of my original image may not be included in these cropped formats. The NATURAL format is the way I composed the image in camera or during final processing. Sometimes this would create an image size which required the use of non-standard mats or frames. So go ahead and see for yourself, by viewing my images in these new formats to decide which one may (or may not) best suit your needs or style of wall art. Of course, you may always choose the NATURAL format and purchase my art as it was originally composed and created.
Many thanks and best wishes!
