Landscapes are popular subjects with artists, but illustrator Jim Darling celebrates the landscape views you see up in the sky with his airplane window art pieces.
The scenes vary from cityscapes to suburbia and the varied green patchwork views of rural spaces, all painted to look exactly from a traveler’s perspective. One piece features the kind of view you’d see at night. This clever concept is not without humor -- just like real life, landscape views are often obstructed if you have to sit close to the aircraft’s wings!
The panoramic set of airplane window art was created for the Over Under show at Open Space.
