I was at the corner store this week and happened to glance up at the sky. I noticed this plane high up there on a cloudy day, perhaps not so ominous as the clouds in my painting. Planes look like birds don't they? Anyway, I thought this scene would make a good subject for a sketch!

Great idea! We often have a very near view of planes here, as the airport is nearby, and sometimes they skim over the highway and you think they will land on the car! Take care of yourself, hugs, Valerie
a great sketch, too! We get to see a lot of planes where I live....they are fun to watch from below - happy Ppf!
youre right some planes do very much look like birds, I love it when people tell us what inspired them to do a piece,, beautiful

Indeed it does! It's also wonderful that you remember the scene to sketch it. Have a wonderful weekend.
Very nice sketch! I think I am on a air because they always go over my house. I just read in the paper this week that you can get an app for your iphone that tells you what airline and where the plane flying over your head is going and coming from...sounds like that would be so cool to have! :-)
Great sketch ! I was watching a plane the other night and was trying to photograph it ~ no succes ~ Love yours! namaste,

Great perspective! Those clouds do look a bit ominous - I'm glad I'm not in that plane! Happy PPF, thanks for stopping by!
We have planes flying over our house on a daily basis since there is now a commute plane to San Jose from Modesto. Sometimes they fly a little low and sound too loud for my ears.I do like to look at them though, better down here than up there. I like your sketch a lot better though. Happy PPF!
Great sketch... I always wonder if they are going somewhere exotic... :)
planes always get my attention... what I love about this sketch is the unintentional other painting that is there :) Just like looking in a cloud... I see a man's profile that looks like he is dreaming of an airplane in his mind. Cool! Happy PPF.
Happy PPF and thanks for showing your smashing sketch. x
Jaime what a wonderful observation, I see it now too!
And it sure did! When you see those planes, do you dream about where they might be heading to? I do that a lot.
A nice plane between black clouds.
Love your sketch. I don't think I've ever drawn a plane. Looks great. And the clouds don't look ominous. I've been in worse clouds while flying.
Great sketch! I used to be obsessed with drawing planes as a kid. :)
My attention is still captured by planes in the sky. I think it has something to do with memories of travels when I was a child. Love your sketch...it transported me again! POP ART MINIS

Very pretty! I love seeing planes overhead.
This reminds me that I'll be leaving on an airplane in a month or so.
Wow - the cloud formations are so cool - this makes a great piece :)

Great sketch - I like the clouds and the colors you used there....
There's always something interesting to sketch, isn't there? Sometimes that hard to remember.
Cool silhouette. Great management of space.
Plane looks great. I like the shading in the sky. Thank you for visiting my blog:) Take care and greetings from Finland

great sketch!
Your cloud formation looks like magic is at play in the skies! I do love planes. I haven't had the chance to fly in years. The exhilaration of take-off and being able to view the world from above is thrilling.

Yes it did! Great idea! Turned out well too!!
My boyfriend goes crazy when the planes fly over our house ( and they aren't even that close, lol!)so I got a giggle out of this! Excellent sketch! Deb
When I first looked at it I felt this sense of foreboding from the dark silhouette of the plane and the gray clouds. But then I went back and looked some more and clicked to enlarge it, and saw all the luscious color and texture in those clouds, and thought that plane looked so sleek and purposeful, cutting through the clouds, and it didn't feel spooky at all. Nice sketch!
Very good!! I agree planes do look like birds. My dog is a Goldendoodle and she is bird dog. She is always looking up in the sky at the planes like she thinks they are birds. Silly dog!
I like your composition in this sketch. Great work! They remind me of birds as well. HAPPY PPF!
