Sam Lyons' "Polished Perfection" To Be Exhibited
Aero-News has learned that "Polished Perfection," a stunning
painting of a mirror-like Luscombe by well-known artist Sam Lyons,
was selected for exhibition in the 13th Annual Horizons of Flight
Aviation Art Exhibition and Competition. The juried aviation art
show will be held at CAE SimuFlite's Dallas/Fort Worth facility
from January 30 through April 28, 2006, as will be open to the
general public, as well as pilots training at SimuFlite.
Lyons was pleased by news. "I painted 'Polished Perfection' for
myself, just because the Luscombe was such a beautiful airplane,"
he said. "But having it chosen for this honor is something
special."
Over 100 entries were submitted for consideration, according to
Lyons, but only 32 were selected by a pool of other aviation
artists to be in the competition.
"SimuFlite is proud to be one of the premier aviation art
exhibits in the world," said exhibition coordinator Margie
Badyna.
The 'Polished Perfection' original was created in acrylic on
canvas. The featured Luscombe won the Grand Champion Classic trophy
at the 2004 Sun ‘n Fun EAA Fly-In. Lyons says he saw it
there, and thought it would make a perfect subject for a painting.
As you can see, he captured the gleaming surface of the aluminum
aircraft in all its beauty.
"SimuFlite is proud to be one of the premier aviation art
exhibits in the world," said Exhibition Coordinator Margie
Badyna.
Winners of the competition will be announced in February. The
original "Polished Perfection" is for sale, as well as prints in a
Limited Edition of 300 signed and numbered with 30 Artist
Proofs.
