Recently, a customer asked if I had considered painting a business jet, and suggested
the GV, probably the best known of the large business jets.

You can see I have the background almost finished, and the jet is blocked in and some of the gray tonal values are started. I am trying to depict the high altitude these jets fly, usually above 40,000 feet on longer trips. At this height the sky looks much darker than what you are used to seeing when you fly commercial, in the 30,000 to 34,000 ft. range.

If you have any questions or suggestions feel free to email me.

UPDATE: 24 January 2005. Finished! When I finished the painting, I thought it was kind of "sterile". It was missing something that would give more of an indication of altitude. So I added a 747 flying around 10,000 ft below to give the feel that the GV is overtaking the slower and lower 747. Probably don't see or say that too often...
