If you know anything about Duncan Aviation, you know we own and operate aircraft with some of the most unique paint schemes in the industry. There’s no Matterhorn-white-with-a-stripe here. Instead, there’s a baby blue Citation XLS with roses and ravens and a lime green Citation M2 with paint splatter. The aircraft are recognized worldwide, and are a testament to the creative people at Duncan Aviation, the quality of work they do, and the trust the Duncan family has in its team members.
Derek was born on a bayou near the shores of Lake Michigan where his love of fishing was ignited. Over the years his art has veered from the classical fishing art, placing more importance on using a unique style and palette. Using oil paints on canvas, he artfully captures all the subtle intricacies fish possess; their patterns, dimension and texture. In his artwork DeYoung is constantly pushing the limits by painting fish in beautiful and original ways.
