Portrait of Warrant Officer Class Two Graeme Tobin Portrait of WO2 Graeme Tobin Graphite on Watercolour paper with Giclee prints of aircraft 297 x 420mm 2011   "This portrait was commissioned as a presentation to Air Commodore Schmidt upon his departure from his post. Heavily involved with the F111 capability of the Royal Australian Air Force, his subordinates requested a specific style of image to incorporate the Australian Flag, the F111 in a style similar to Leonardo da Vinci's 'Vitruvian Man' and, of course, the image of the Air Commodore himself"
