I saw a photograph of Etienne Coetzee posted on the South African Harvard Club's FB page and thought it would make an interesting watercolour experiment.

What a joy it was to paint and what fantastic memories it inspired!

Thanks Etienne for letting me free to create this wonderful journey into the past!

Harvard start-up, the start of many a pilot's dreams

#2 - Arnie Meneghelli; #3 - Ellis Levin; and #4 Sean Thackwray, and have been in operation for more than 14 years.

Sean was in the South African Air Force with me and is also an artist when he is not flying. When I left the SAAF, I was presented with a farewell present, which was a painting of a Cheetah E, painted by Sean. It is still hanging in my office and reminds me of the good flying days I had and people I worked with. Thanks Sean!

Back to the painting, it is a watercolour, painted on 640gms Arches, cold press paper and measures 560mm x 760mm. I used some artistic freedom on the background as I wanted to allude to the Highveld thunderstorms that prevail in the areas, which make formation flying so much more interesting and difficult.'/>

Caro’s Favourite

This painting shows SAAF C130 406 at AFB Bloemspruit, just after the inauguration of President Ramaphosa.

The photo that I used was taken by Joey de Villiers a flight engineer on BK117 helicopters, based at Air Force Station Port Elizabeth, 15 Sqn, C-flight. Joey took this photograph whilst taking refreshments out to the aircraft and saw the reflection in a puddl... Read More
