This new painting is a part of the ‘Young Aviator Series’, aiming to capture one’s love of the aviation world from a young man’s perspective. In this scene, the young man is convening with his dog to learn from an aviation display of dog fighting. In Tara’s mind, it is unclear whether the young man knows more, or if the dog knows more. But either way, the lesson of Dog Fighting has begun.

Artist Statement:
To me, this painting speaks of the closeness of the relationship between man and his ‘best friend’ and also of the kinship of those within the aviation community. Take to the skies and smile.
