Welcome to Donna McVicar Kazo’s New Website!
Forever a work in progress!
Presenting: “Frigid Fires”
As described in Ferry Command Pilot by Capt. Don McVicar, OBE, who both piloted this PBY and authored the book, this was the first aircraft to fly over Greenland west to east. Donna McVicar Kazo painted the original in soft pastels in 1991 at her father’s request. The thrilling event portrayed takes place in Chapter 16, “The Crimson Route East.”
“The Gods of Flight weren’t through with us. Suddenly we were subjected to an intense display of St. Elmo’s Fire, a phenomenon caused by an excess of static electricity. Purple, orange and white balls formed on the windshield before rolling over our heads towards the wing. Then the propellers became circular sheets of variable colors. Abruptly two small spheres of intense blue formed inside the cockpit. My copilots and I managed to dodge them…”
I am delighted to announce that for the first time, a limited edition of museum-quality reproductions of “Frigid Fires” is now available! Each state of the art 16″ x 20″ giclée is produced on canvas by a commercial company with 27 years of experience. The edition is limited to only 100 and No. 1 has already found a delighted collector, so there are 99 to go (just like the beer-drinking song?). To save on postage and prevent damage, each giclée is mailed rolled up in a sturdy tube. Sorry, stretching or framing must be handled by the collector. Each giclée will be personally signed and numbered by the artist, Donna McVicar Kazo.
