Lyle Young
Lyle’s first art experience occurred during a high school technical drawing course in the 40s. He created 3-D drafting images that were admired, but assignments were not returned to him. They made good training aides for others. He later provided cartoons and art for his school paper. His next opportunity came from creating art in the U. S. Air Force before and during the Korean conflict. Various crews wanted him to create art to identify their airplanes. He would start with an airplane’s nickname, such as “Yank”, then develop art based on the name, then finally applying the design to each plane’s fuselage. He also assisted with the creation of murals after moving to California.
Those early interests in art led to him spending the rest of his life doing fine art painting. He paints mainly for his own interest and the pleasure of others rather than as a source of income.
