PROVENANCE
Acquired directly from the Artist by a Private Collection, British Columbia
By descent to the present Private Collection, Vancouver


The consignor's grandmother commissioned W.P. Weston to paint this as a gift for her husband. He was trained as a pilot to fight with the Royal Canadian Air Force in the Second World War, however, due to his poor eyesight, he was assigned the position of mechanic. To commemorate his love of flying, his wife commissioned Weston to paint this piece, who titled it Sky Pilot.
