Sorry - it's a watercolor of the Rhodesian Paradak. It was a watercolor that was shown in Soldier of Fortune Magazine ages ago. "Fireforce External" by John Hopkins, who does a lot of war watercolors. As you can imagine, trying to google "John Hopkins" is a nightmare. Finally found it at a London Auction house online with about three minutes left, and of course, put in my bid.
I was always intrigued by the painting because I was a smokejumper for nine years, parachuting into mountainous, rocky, rough terrain to put out forest fires. Add in people shooting at you, and you get the picture.

She removed this from the living room because all the gals at Bible study were asking too many questions.
But she left this up. (it took me 30 years to find this..., )

lovely lovely books
Engage in life..., and life passes you by.
Seriously, family is most important - cherish it while you can.

It was a great time of life. Nine years - got to most western states and Alaska. 226 jumps, 108 on fires, I think.
Rocks, trees, stumps, cactus, wind. Luckily, I think I got out with the only injuries (that I know of so far) being a concussion (mild?) and a little barking in my right knee, which I can keep at bay through light exercise.
As far as the comic book covers with parachutes go, it is always fun to spot the stuff that defies the laws of physics. And a lot of the artists didn't have much concept of what they were drawing.
