It Had Rained All Day And Into The Night. It Was Cold And Windy. How Would I Get The Photos I Needed, Sketches In The Field? The Next Morning Was Clear And Bright. I Sat On The Runway, Beale Air Force Base, California, February 23, 2000, In The Chase Car Looking Up At The Sky. There It Was. The U-2 Spy Plane! We Chased It--It Landed. It Was The Thrill Of My Life. I Understand The Importance Of The Military, The Air Force, Reconnaissance. This Painting Depicts The Sudden Appearance Of The U-2, How It Glides In Front Of The Camaro, The Clear Bright Colors Of California And The Sutter Mountain Range After Days Of Cold, Rain And Fog.
