Acrylic On Canvas Board
16 x 20"

     This is the first of another series I am working on about restoring a car. Here is my brother sat on the bonnet of my car after struggling to get his to start up. He’s restoring a ford Capri but its not going as smoothly as he’d hoped. I like the irony of it all because he thinks my cars a piece of junk but at least it works.
     I really struggled to photograph this one for some reason and the colours are still off so I might upload a better version later. Well that’s just another difficulty we traditional artists face.

      I'm working with wax again to make more resolved work that stands on its own next to my acrylic stuff. This is a possible entry into this years Derwent Art Prize. hopefully I can have the same success as last year.
     The main complaint I noticed with last years Art Prize was the lack of colour entries so I have a suspicion that this year they may want to accept more coloured works.

Self explanatory title really. I saw this old car on  a trip to Leeds. It was parked down an old cobbled street and I knew I had to paint it. They really did make better looking cars back then.
