Jacques' Lancair - Original Acrylic by Judy Lavoie "When you build your own airplane, it's as if it is your 'baby', so a portrait on the wall of your home is quite fitting! For this homebuilt Lancair IV-P I used several reference photos provided by the builder, creating the background of his local countryside. I even added Jacques in the right seat!" |

Huggin's Mooney - Original Acrylic by Judy Lavoie "I was commissioned to do this painting by the wife of the airplane owner, as a surprise for his birthday. She provided me with various photos of the plane on the ground. I painted this in acrylics and created a background which looks like the Intracoastal marshlands off St. Augustine, Florida's airport, home base for this plane. This allowed me to pick up and accent some of the gold from the plane's paint design in the landscape." |

Providing Photos If you are providing photos as reference for Judy to create your custom painting, here are some tips: For Airplane Paintings: Don't worry about getting your plane photographed in-flight! Just take lots of photos on the ground, preferrably on a clear sunny day. Morning or late day shadows and light are more dramatic than midday, so plan your photos accordingly. For the background, if possible send aerial shots of where you fly, or take a landscape photo from the ground (see Huggin's Mooney as an example) and Judy can work the plane into the setting you prefer. If there's a particular detail you don't want Judy to miss or you want to emphasize, please note that. And, if possible, send the negatives to the photos you like best so Judy can make enlargements if necessary to help with the details. Payment Schedule Upon the signing of Judy’s standard Commissioned Artwork Agreement, a non-refundable deposit of 33% will be required, and Judy will proceed with the preliminary sketch of the artwork. A second payment of 33% is due on approval of the preliminary sketch, and the balance of 34% upon the completion of the painting. |
