Don Feight
Feight Studios was established in 1994 by Paula & Don Feight inspired by the aerospace and aviation art Don was producing at his job at Lockheed Martin. Don has worked at Lockheed Martin for over thirty-three years as a graphic artist. Airplanes have been a lifelong passion from his early years living on Air Force bases, model building, and drawing airplanes, through the eventual building and flying of a homebuilt Glasair RG aircraft later as an adult.
Much of the inspiration for Don's aviation art comes from his experiences during as a pilot. The low-level flight over the water in "Madman," the blue hole in the dark storm clouds in "Lightning," and the spinning ground in "Performance" are a few examples of experiences of actual flying used to produce aviation art images.
Unlike many aviation artists, Don's passion is for the aircraft and flying above all else.
Don Feight Signed and Numbered Limited Edition Print "Closing the Gap"
During WWII a gap existed where land-based aircraft could not provide air cover for the lifeline convoys sailing to Britain from North America. That mid-Atlantic gap was the prime hunting grounds for the German U-boat wolf packs until it was closed by the escort carrier groups. These small "Baby Flat Tops," armed with Grumman TBM Avenger torpedo bombers and FM Wildcat fighters, could hunt down and destroy submarines as far from the convoys as required. This picture shows the first "Jeep," CVE-9 Bogue and a pair of her aircraft.
A limited edition of 500 printed on 100% acid-free cover stock. Original available. Size is 22"x 28" including a 2" white border.
A Limited Edition print is restricted to a certain number. For example, if 400 prints are made from an original painting, once they’re gone, that’s it. There is no limit to the number of open edition prints of a particular painting. That’s why Limited Edition prints are more expensive — and more valuable to collectors — than "open" edition. Rare objects are more valuable.
