I
caught the Motoring 'Bug' at the age of 8, from that magic film 'Genevieve'
like so many others and have never grown up where Cars are concerned
since.
Over
the years, my interest has covered all aspects of Motors and Motor
Sport but has of recent years favoured the period from the earliest
pioneering days, through to say, pre-war and perhaps a bit beyond!
I
started painting the cars in oils in 1990 as a hobby, with a view
to making a living from it in my retirement years. Circumstances kindly
decreed that this be brought forward a little, so the 'fun' started
a bit earlier than planned.
My
aim with every picture, is to generate a successful mix of accuracy,
atmosphere and action, in varying proportions, so that as a total,
it recaptures that 'precious moment' in times past, that a modern
staged photographic image rarely achieves.
Commissions
are welcomed, in fact positively encouraged, but prospective clients
be warned! I will 'hassle and badger' you for detail information,
period and current photos and anything relating to your treasured
car, that helps me to ensure that, what and how I envisage it, is
as near as possible, the scene you have envisaged yourself!
