Featured Artist - Allan Botting

Allan Botting has spent all his working life in Mechanical Engineering with a
long time interest in aviation. Now retired and painting as a hobby he says he
is happy to be in the company of these accomplished CAAA artists. His
inspiration comes from years of reading, viewing and flying aircraft. Historical
depiction is high on the list of subjects providing the fulfillment of painting a
scene and using a style similar to famous aviation artists such as Robert
Taylor, William Phillips and Roy Grinnell to name a few. Painting the subject in
as realistic a manner as he is capable of doing is his goal. Satisfaction comes
from aviation peers recognizing the image and providing a painting that will be
cherished.
