Description
Plantation Piper Limited Edition Sam Lyons Print
Antique airplanes and plush plantations take center stage in Sam Lyons’ Plantation Piper. As the name implies, the setting of this 15″ x 20½” illustration is the Toogoodoo Plantation near Charleston, SC. Those familiar with the area will recognize the antebellum ambience of the scenery, which lends itself very well to the southern charm for which the region is famous. Also contributing to the piece’s charisma is the striking blue & yellow Piper PA-11 Cub Special parked amongst the crops. Lyons’ affinity for Cubs is contagious, as even an untrained eye will note the level of reverence he devotes to precisely replicating all of the taildragger’s minute features. Additionally, the artist’s phenomenal rendering of the image’s vegetation makes this look more like a photograph than a drawing.
This picture is available as both an Artist Proof (limited to 20) and a signed & numbered Limited Edition print (limited to 200). Both versions are printed on acid-free paper, utilize first-rate permanent inks, and include a Certificate of Authenticity. Also offered are Prints on Canvas (limited to 25). A top-notch tribute to a classic aircraft and an equally esteemed estate that aviation art aficionados from coast to coast are sure to appreciate.
