Charles Hubbell (1899 – 1971) was born in Cleveland Ohio USA. As a boy of 10 he became interested in aviation when a friend gave him an aeronautical magazine. Before he completed high school, he had designed and built many models as well as a man-sized glider. He graduated from the Cleveland School of Art in 1923. He traded his early paintings for flight time, soloing in 1925.
Here are presented fourteen of forty watercolors of historic pre-WW1 and early WW1 aircraft by Charles Hubbell. They were exhibited during his one-man show at the Smithsonian in 1960 and at the EAA Museum in Oshkosh in 1987.
We believe they are some of his favorites as they were kept by him, then later sold by his estate.

Growing up on a dry land wheat farm west of Moree (Australia), Belinda Williams has always been surrounded by wide open spaces.
She knew from a very young age that she wanted to be an artist. And has been a full time artist since taking up the brush seriously in 1997.
The outback is a never ending source of inspiration which continues to feed Belinda Williams' desire to portray this element of the Australian countryside.
The red-bellied woodpecker(Melanerpes carolinus) is a medium-sized woodpecker (length 8.5 inches). It breeds in southern Canada and the northeastern United States, ranging as far south as Florida and as far west as Texas.
Its common name is somewhat misleading, as the most prominent red part of its plumage is on the head. The reddish tinge on the belly that gives the bird its name is difficult to see in field identification.
Hi, my name is Myriam Cliche. I live in a cold country and spend almost all of my spare time on the web looking at artwork. My blog is a place to share with you what I find.
