Description:
Write Brother's Memorial: Kitty Hawk, North Carolina is a luminous and reverent watercolor painting by Timothy D. Thomas, honoring the birthplace of powered flight. Measuring 30 inches wide by 20 inches high, and painted on cold press watercolor board, this striking piece captures the soaring Wright Brothers National Memorial as it rises proudly from the sandy dunes of Kill Devil Hill in North Carolina’s Outer Banks.
Using his signature methodology and a refined palette of professional-grade watercolors, Thomas renders the monument in atmospheric detail—stone bathed in natural light, standing as a sentinel of innovation against a windswept coastal sky. Gentle washes of Cobalt Blue and soft earth tones blend seamlessly to evoke the mood of open air and endless possibility. The surrounding landscape—dune grasses, rolling terrain, and soft cloud cover—grounds the scene in its native beauty, while inviting reflection on the courage and vision that changed the world in 1903.
Thomas’s controlled brushwork and expert use of transparency give the painting both depth and clarity, balancing realism with emotional resonance. The monument, a geometric column of granite, becomes more than architecture—it becomes a symbol of human aspiration and the enduring power of belief in the impossible.
As a veteran and lifelong artist, Thomas brings both technical skill and historical insight to his work. Write Brother's Memorial is not only a tribute to the Wright brothers—it is a celebration of progress, perseverance, and the spirit of discovery that continues to lift humanity toward new heights.
