Collection of New Work by Joel Simpson

Opening Reception First Fri, Aug 4, 6-99p

Art First, 824 Caroline St

Each piece revolves around historical aircraft encounters in the sky "The impression I want visitors t to take with them is that my work is not just a painting of some aircraft -- but that it is a painting which tells a story of the aircraft and the men and women who flew the aircraft. Simpson has grown up around aircraft. His father was a US Army Master Aviator and a veteran of World War II and the Korean War. So the painting subject matter is of special meaning to him -- and it shows in the detail exhibited in each painting
