| | “Full House – Aces High” is John’s latest artistic creation honoring the brave men who defended our freedom in the skies over Europe. John’s love for aviation and country collaborate as an alchemy of color and reverence in his latest composition. I am delighted and honored to have “Full House” Artist Proof number 1 to share space with my “older” Limited Edition, John Doughty prints. Patrick Varner | | “Full House – Aces High” is my third John Doughty print (“The Animal" and “Thunder on the Deck” are my other two), and I have been eagerly looking forward to getting it ever since John showed me a small Polaroid of the original several years ago. I really like John’s work for many reasons, including his choice of subjects (I love F-4’s and both the B-17 and P-51), and the fact that he depicts them as working machines doing their jobs – not just as clean, abstract objects sitting by themselves. John’s attention to detail is phenomenal, and his aircraft pictures in particular have character that “tell a story” about not only the aircraft, but also the people who flew and supported them. I am sure any true aviation art fan would agree that John’s artwork is some of the finest you can find. I am thrilled to have the ones I already have, and look forward to his next piece!
