| Lake Constance (book cover), watercolor, 16x10, NFS |

| Ulli created this watercolor rendering from her home near spectacular Lake Constance for her husband Kent's "Aeronautical Travel Guide to the Lake Constance Region." Mimicking the art deco styles used by artists in the 1920s and 1930s for travel posters, Ulli has depicted some of the wide variety of aircraft that are associated with this region bordered by Germany, Austria and Switzerland, with the ever-visible Alps a natural background to the shimmering emerald green of Lake Constance ("Bodensee" in German). See here for details on purchasing a copy of this travel guide.

| Nathan Davis, Tipton, Indiana
While visiting the EAA's 2003 AirVenture airshow in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, Ulli was impressed by the markings and reflections on the highly polished surfaces of this WWII P-51D Mustang, owned by Mr. Nathan Davis of Tipton, Indiana. Mr. Davis later acquired the painting from Ulli for his private collection of aviation artwork.

| John Tumblin, Burlington, North Carolina
WWII veteran John Tumblin of Burlington, North Carolina, picks up his painting in Ulli's studio on April 4th, 2007. John was a crew member of a US Navy blimp such as the one in the painting. In one of the least reported but most successful chapters of the war, John and his fellow Navy air crewmen played a key role in anti-submarine warfare along the coasts of North and South America, and accompanied convoys far out to sea in their mission to provide life-sustaining supplies to the British population and to allied troops. The pastel depiction of a Navy blimp guarding a convoy is set against a brilliant dusk sky, evoking both the spectacular scenes that John experienced as a young man, and also the menace of U-boots, always lurking in the darkness.
