Over Enemy Lines by Robert Watts

Description

Robert Watts’ Over Enemy Lines captures the tense moment of aerial peril during WWI: a solitary biplane, wings spread wide, soars over enemy territory as the ground falls away in a patchwork of rivers and fields. The sky looms with soft turbulence, clouds drifting, light filtering through, while the plane’s silhouette is sharp and resolute, its red‑accented markings marking it as a daring intruder. The landscape below, lush and uncertain, seems both peaceful and fraught, giving the flight above a sense of exposure and bravery. Watts balances vivid color (from the plane) with muted earth tones and skies, producing a scene that’s romantic, heroic, and steeped in tension.
