The desire for dominant foreground detail was essential here as depth was important. It allowed the addition of the inquisitive boys to almost touch the massive Lancaster and assist in the intensity of the last light of the day through contrast of light to dark. - Robin Smith

Extract from Foreword: "I have often wished that I had the wall space to hang more of Robin's paintings, but now we can have them all in this wonderful book. Not only can we revel in the art, but in addition Robin provides us with explanatory notes with each picture, telling the historical background to the subject and giving some fascinating detail into his thoughts and his artistic 'tricks' in painting them. I am so pleased he has decided to put this book 'Painted Wings', together for our delight and I hope you enjoy it."
