Description
It's hard to imagine a more ideal existence than the one Sam Lyons shares with viewers in Cub at Quail Creek. As its name implies, the 15" x 30" illustration portrays a summery yellow Piper Cub on floats docked at Quail Creek Plantation in Okeechobee County, Florida. As is characteristic of all his artwork, Sam devotes meticulous attention to reproducing each & every feature of the Cub exactly as it appears on Piper's production planes. Observers will also cherish Lyons' ultra-precise depiction of the setting's scenery. The remarkably realistic reflective qualities of the water - which include a mirror image of the Cub - far exceed the skill level of all but a handful of upper-echelon artists. Furthermore, his lifelike portrayal of the area's vegetation and the billowing clouds in the distant sky augment the authenticity of the tranquil ambiance. For many, this drawing is the embodiment of any aviator's Shangri-la.
