Description

This was painted for a 1776 celebration calendar. As art director in an ad agency that was heavily involved in aviation, a major printing company asked me to do a calendar that would express the advance of transportation in the United States. It was to show my actual experience in travel. I had flown twice in the Ford tri-motor airplane when Island Airlines owned three of them serving the Lake Erie Islands. I changed the livery to American Airlines as they used them pioneering trans-continental air travel. I cruised the Ohio River twice on the Delta Queen steamboat so I was qualified to paint her when she and her sister were plying the rivers of California. Last was the steam engine. My father and grandfather worked for the N&W and I had been drawing their engines from around the age of seven. I left the river space for the printer to glue the tear-off day by day calendar in place. The original is still available for sale or prints may be purchased framed or unframed by clicking on the image.
