| Aviation artist Gerald Coulson.
Aviation art print 'Alone at Dawn' by Gerald Coulson depicting a crippled
Lancaster over the North Sea trying to reach the safety of the British
mainland.
A crippled Lancaster limps back from a night bombing raid over occupied
Europe. As was often the case the mighty bomber has been heavily damaged
by flak and with an engine out has fallen far behind the main force. Dawn
is now breaking and the crew, still over a hostile North Sea, desperately
struggle to reach the safety of the British mainland.
Gerald Coulson has been painting professionally for
over 30 years. the Fine Art Guild have placed him among the top ten
best selling UK artists no less than 15 times in 12 years - 3 times at No.
1. Coulson's first love was aircraft, studying them and drawing them
at every opportunity, from an early age. His apprenticeship as an
aircraft engineer then as an RAF Technician and later an engineer
with British Airways, have allowed him an insight and intimate knowledge
of the aircraft he paints. Now a Vice President, he is a founder
member of the Guild of Aviation Artists and four times winner of the
Flight International Trophy for outstanding aviation painting. He
qualified for his pilots licence in 1960 and is still actively flying
today - mostly vintage aircraft and can often be seen buzzing over the
Fens of Cambridgeshire in a Tiger Moth. Whatever the subject,
whether aviation, landscape or portrait, his ability to capture the
realism and mood of the scene is unsurpassed, making him one of the most
collected and highly regarded artists in the world today.
