Joe Foss WIP

Inspired by Roy Grinnell's fabulous portrait of Joe Foss, this is the progress so far on my own interpretation of the same subject. When I came across a great reference of a Wildcat, albeit in black & white, I couldn't resist trying my own portrait of Joe. I wanted to portray Joe in the cockpit of his Wildcat with a tropical backdrop of, what else, Guadalcanal of course. Oil Pastel on Canson board..
