Bumper Car

Long weekend down in Queenstown and Wanaka for a wedding. Checked out the Wanaka museum display and went to the Highlands Motorsport Park where I met Tony Quinn and maybe got an opportunity to sell prints from the museum shop. working on it!!
So the olds languished a bit but had 2 nights at it so far this week and the bumper is coming along nice. Talk about Greys!!

'59 Olds

a new commission for a young lady for her father's birthday..
The huge rear end and awesome american fins of a cherished 'yank tank'!

as usual there's a tricky aspect, portraying white as various shades of grey!

wheels away as usual...

Jag completed

signed sealed and scanned!

Background time

I decided to add a background to the Jag. This is just the first stage after Ive painted it in Acrylic. Now for some CP work over the top. I think it was a good decision tho..

also started the next commish.. The '59 oldsmobile.. interesting perspective..

also delivered 5 nicely packaged prints to a new art gallery for display. Artrium in Thorndon. Hope to get some sales but we'll see...

Jaguar Sunday

ran out of cute titles! jag nearly done now... needs some tweaking and highlights and then a background splash!
Good news today in that A local gallery has asked me to provide some prints for sale. Not expecting anything but 1 step forward! Hope to get this one done later in the week now, then on to the Oldsmobile!

Scarlet Lady

Coming along nicely..  as are the prints (5 over the weekend) and I did notice Warwick had sold another Train. Im sure it hasnt been the only one!  I also received a 50 euro note for 3 E.R.A. prints to germany...Now what do I do with it?

anyway the scarlet Jag is working nicely and really pleasing me... I hope Peter is liking it too...

Easter Monday

well thats Easter... busy day today..
bought a new camera, sent old camera to get serviced/cleaned, cooked, painted some weather boards and did a bit of the Jag. Im really enjoying this car... the reds have so many layers, its very arty to use the sides of pencils in swirly shapes and then layer over and over..

Well back to work proper tomorrow.. Ive had 2 days work in the last 12 days... woohoo!  and end of April were off again to Wanaka for another nephews wedding... Might find time for a side trip to the new National Motorsport Museum at Cromwell! we'll see...
