BREAKING COVER
by Robert Taylor
Concealed in the woods of northern France, Fw190 pilots break cover ready for a quick take-off to intercept Allied bombers in the summer of 1944.
Robert Taylor's pencil work is in a league of its own and this spectacular new piece pays tribute to the Fw190. Completed in his trademark graphite and paint combination on a special 'buff' paper the finish is amazing, creating a sepia almost 'war time' effect giving it a totally authentic feel.
